“Innocent kids, you know, going to school, trying to get an education,” neighbor James Covington told Channel 9.
The boy told police that at about 7:15 a.m., someone walking through the neighborhood shot at him.
Covington didn’t see or hear anything, but he said he couldn’t imagine who would shoot at the boy.
“It’s a quiet neighborhood,” Covington said. “Everybody gets along, so it had to be from another neighborhood or something.”
His mother has been in contact with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
A nearby resident, who did not want to be on camera, said there was a gunshot Monday morning.
Police have not said if they are looking for anyone.
The boy was not injured.
