SUPERIOR TOWNSHIP, MI -- The nonfatal shooting of a 9-year-old that occurred at Sycamore Meadows apartments in Superior Township about 11 a.m. Saturday, May 18, was accidental, according to the Washtenaw County sheriff’s office.

Police are releasing few additional details in the incident.

The child was struck in the neck with a small-caliber bullet and transported to an Ann Arbor-area hospital in stable condition, Washtenaw County Sheriff’s spokesman Derrick Jackson said.

Jackson on Sunday said police couldn’t yet answer questions on how the shooting occurred or whether anyone could face charges.

The apartment complex has a history of gun violence. Residents banded together in 2017 to try to improve conditions and reduce crime.

“It’s really rough,” said Patreca Evans, 27, a 10-year resident of Sycamore Meadows Apartments. "... There have been people who have died out here from shootings.

“This is another reason I’m deciding to move ... Since I’ve been here, there have been over six people who have died."
