SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Spring Hill Police Department announced that a 17-year-old was arrested after a stray bullet struck a sleeping child last week.

On June 6, a shooting was reported around 1 a.m. in the 3000 block of Shandor Street in the Harvest Point subdivision off Cleburne Road. Police said a man was outside on the street when a sedan drove up next to him. The occupant of the sedan reportedly shot at the man, who fired back.

About 15 rounds were fired in all, and several penetrated a nearby home. One of the bullets went through the wall, grazing the skull of a young child. Police added that the circumstances surrounding the shooting are still under investigation.

The SHPD said that the Columbia teen has been charged with attempted second-degree murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment by discharging a firearm into a habitation. It is up to the District Attorney's Office to make a decision about transferring the hearing from juvenile court to adult court.

"Our thoughts remain with the child and their family," the SHPD added in the update. "We are all hoping for a full and swift recovery."

While the family didn’t have a GoFundMe page by the time this article was published, the community has set up a meal train where people can donate both meals and money. Follow this link if you’d like to make a contribution.
