Roy L.SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Northern Indiana police say a 7-year-old boy was shot in the arm when gunfire struck a South Bend home where a woman was inside with her five children.

South Bend police Capt. Scott Ruszkowski said the boy’s mother sustained a cut on her arm, possibly by flying glass from a shattered window. The boy injured in the shooting was sitting with his mother and a sibling at the time of the attack.
Neighbors said they heard the sound of a car driving by the home and then between five and seven gunshots about 10:20 p.m. Thursday.
