CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A 2-year-old child escaped with a minor wound in a drive-by shooting Sunday night on the West Side, police say.

The child had a "small abrasion" to the buttocks because of the shots fire, police spokeswoman Lt. Jennifer Ciaccia said.

A male suspect has been taken into custody.

The shooting occurred at about 9 p.m. outside the home on the 6800 block of Guthrie Avenue, which is just north of Lorain Avenue and west of West 65th Street in the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood.

The child was inside the home when the shooting occurred, Ciaccia said.
