DALLAS — Authorities believe a shooting early Sunday that killed a 1-year-old boy and wounded his uncle in a home in Dallas was a targeted attack.

Detectives were trying to figure out who, or what, inside the home the gunman was seeking, police Chief Reneé Hall said. No arrests had been made as of noon Sunday.

Hall identified the slain boy as Rory Norman, who would have turned 2 on Jan. 24. The wounded man is the boy’s 20-year-old uncle, a college student home for the holidays, according to Hall.

The man’s name was not released. He was hospitalized Sunday in stable condition, Hall said.

Hall said police believe the shooter knew the layout of the home, noting that the person fired a rifle through bedroom windows. She said the person knew where to aim.

The wounded man told police that the person fired several times, striking both him and the child.
