TULSA, Okla. — A sleeping child got shot after a fight in a parking lot led to shots fired and one shot went into an apartment at the Autumn Ridge apartment complex near 21st and Memorial.
The shooting happened around 2:15 AM on Sunday, Dec. 29. Police later found shell casings outside the nearby Las Brizas Bar.
Tulsa police said the 8-year-old got shot in the leg by a bullet that went through the wall of their apartment while he slept. Police used a tourniquet when they got on the scene. Emergency officials took the child to the hospital.
2 News spoke to others living at the Autumn Ridge apartments. They said they've heard of crime before but believed a recent change in management might improve things.
Linda Goswick said she hopes whoever is responsible for the shooting is apprehended soon, "I hope that those kinds of situations wouldn't happen, but you never know in any place. It can happen anywhere."
The child's family started a gofundme to help the costs from this injury.
Right now, police have no suspect information. Anyone with information is asked to contact Tulsa police at 918-596-COPS.
