A drive-by shooting in Griffin sent a mother and child to the hospital Wednesday night, police said.
A 4-year-old girl was shot in the back and her 37-year-old mother was shot in the buttocks, Griffin police Lt. Mike Richardson said. Both were taken to Spalding Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, he said.
Two other people — the girl’s father and the woman’s 11-year-old son — were also in the Lane Street home at the time of the shooting around 7 p.m., but they were not injured, according to police.
A witness reported hearing multiple gun shots and then hearing tires screeching.
“At this time we have no information regarding the intended targets of the shooting,” Richardson said in a news release.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is continuing.
