Toddler hit by stray bullet in Prince George’s

A toddler was hospitalized after being struck by a stray bullet outside an apartment complex in Glenarden. The 23-month-old boy, who was in his mother’s arms at the time of the shooting, was listed as in critical but stable condition on Sunday. Officers responded to the call about 9:15 p.m. Saturday to the 3000 block of Brightseat Road and found the boy shot in the upper body, said Prince George’s County police spokesman Evan Baxter. The incident occurred outside a garden-style apartment community located directly north of FedEx Field.

Baxter said police are investigating the shooting and by Sunday afternoon had developed a “person of interest” in the case. He said he did not know whether authorities have connected the case with last month’s drive-by shooting in the same Glenarden neighborhood.
