A suspect opened fire on a man who was holding a baby outside of his east Fort Worth apartment early Tuesday morning, striking the adult several times and grazing the infant with a bullet, police said.
The man was in serious condition and the baby was in good condition, according to police. Both were taken to the hospital.
There were two suspects who approached the man, including the one who opened fire, and both were at large Tuesday morning. The shooting was possibly gang-related, police said.
