Detroit — A 5-year-old boy was hit in his ankle during a New Year’s Eve shooting on the city's east side.

The shooting took place about 9:10 p.m. on the 13000 block of Kilbourne, which is between East Outer Drive and Houston Whittier.

The boy and his grandmother, who were in town from Ohio visiting relatives, were in the house when people there heard shots fired. At this point, police aren’t sure if the shooting took place inside or outside of the home, said Officer Dan Donakowski, a Detroit Police Department spokesman.

What they do know is that the boy was privately conveyed to an area hospital and was in stable condition at last report. No arrests have been made.
