A 5-year-old boy was killed in Alabama over the weekend when two family members shot at each other and ended up striking the child, authorities said.
The shooters, whose names and relationship to the victim have yet to be released, were arguing outside a Birmingham apartment complex Saturday afternoon when both fired their guns, police told local news outlets on Sunday.
Birmingham police said two family members were engaged in an altercation. Both fired weapons at each other and the boy was struck. The shooters, sources say were both women, were engaged in an argument when one neighbor said she heard multiple shots fired and then saw a man sitting on the ground cradling the little boy.

He boy was pronounced dead at a hospital.
