CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police are investigating a shooting that left a 2-year-old girl injured in northwest Charlotte on Tuesday.

A family friend of the victim said the girl was hit by a bullet during a shooting on Capps Hollow Drive around 9:30 p.m.

Several shots were fired at homes in the neighborhood before the suspect took off, police said.

The girl was taken to an area hospital and is listed in stable condition, according to the family friend.

"Right now she is presently in fair and stable condition," the family friend — who did not want to be identified said. "I was approximately 40 to 50 feet when the shots rang out."

Police are still working to gather more information on the shooting, and have not released any description of the suspect or a motive to the shooting.

The shooting is the city's fourth in two days.
