TOLEDO, Ohio — Editor's note - An earlier version of this article mischaracterized the relationship between the victims, as told to WTOL 11 by police. Toledo police later confirmed that the man is not the child's biological father.
A 20-year-old and a 2-year-old were hospitalized after a shooting Thursday night in west Toledo.
WTOL 11 spoke with residents in the area of the shooting — Mackow Drive in the Scott Park neighborhood — about the incident.
One resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said he saw a dark SUV driving down the street and a person releasing rounds from the sunroof.
Toledo police do not have any suspects in custody as of Friday morning.
The resident said he has lived in the neighborhood for more than 60 years and has never seen an incident like the shooting.
According to Toledo police, the shooting happened around 10:45 p.m. The 20-year-old was hit in the leg and the 2-year-old was struck in the head. Police told WTOL 11 on Friday that the child is in critical condition, but is stable.
WTOL 11 spoke with Toledo City Council member John Hobbs III about the shooting, which he said is concerning given a 2-year-old was injured.
"Any time there's a shooting, we're finding out that our shooters are becoming younger, our victims are becoming younger," he said. "We're always concerned, but especially when a baby is hurt or shot or even tragically killed in an incident like this."
Hobbs said he spoke with Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle, who said the area around Mackow Drive typically does not see much violence. However, he said he still needs help from the community to curb violence.
"We cannot idly sit by, but especially when a baby has been affected, we have to step forward as citizens of Toledo if we know something and try to bring this person to justice so that we don't have something like this happening," Hobbs said. "Bullets don't have names, this could be anybody's child, anybody's grandchild, anybody's great-grandchild, and we don't want that happening."
