PORTSMOUTH — A toddler was shot and a woman was grazed by a bullet Sunday night when someone shot at them from another car in Portsmouth’s Mount Hermon neighborhood.
Shortly before 9:30 p.m., police were called to the 1300 block of Watson Street, where a 21-month-old girl had been shot in the upper body, police wrote in a news release Monday. The child’s injury is “no longer life-threatening,” according to police.
A 23-year-old woman was grazed by a bullet but refused treatment, police said.
The woman and toddler were in a vehicle turning from High Street onto Watson Street when someone in a silver four-door vehicle with 30-day temporary tags began shooting at them, according to detectives.
Police are still trying to identify the driver and vehicle. Detectives are asking anyone with information to call them at 757-393-8536 or submit an anonymous tip through 1-888-LOCK-U-UP, www.portsmouthcrimeline.com or the P3 Tips app.
