A child apparently escaped life-threatening injury Tuesday night when he was struck by pellets from repeated shotgun blasts at the car he was in.
Around 9:40 p.m., Rowan EMS and the Rowan Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a gunshot wound to the head of a child at 5485 Chenault Road, near the Rowan-Iredell county line.
The child was in a Jeep Cherokee with his parents when several shots were fired into the vehicle.
