MEMPHIS, Tenn. --Memphis Police have released more information about a shooting that injured a 3-year-old child Friday afternoon. According to authorities, they were called to the fire station in the 3900 block of Knight Arnold Road for an aggravated assault. They were told the father was walking to his vehicle on Boxdale near Wooddale with his 3-year-old in tow, when an unknown man approached them, pulled out a gun and opened fire. The 3-year-old boy was hit, and rushed to the fire station. Authorities say the child was taken to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital where he is expected to be okay. A woman who works across the street from the fire station told WREG she heard doors slamming and then a woman's "blood curdling" scream. "It made me a little unsettled because I didn't know what was going on," said Nichole Scobey. Police initially said they had one person in custody, but was later released. At this time, police do not have anyone in custody. The suspect was last seen fleeing the scene in a white Mercury Grand Marquis. If you can help investigators, you are urged to call Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH.
