Investigators said three men reportedly approached a car and demanded money while the victims and another man were inside. One of the suspects then opened fire, hitting the man twice in the back and the 2-year-old toddler in the foot.

"Anyone who can open fire on a vehicle with a child inside is an extremely dangerous individual," said Acting Prosecutor Jill S. Mayer. "Our Major Crimes Unit is working hard with Woodlynne Police to find those responsible."
