In a continuing epidemic of young children being caught in the cross-fire of gun violence among adults, a 7-year old was shot and killed in his home during an argument in Clayton County, Georgia.

According to a report, “[t]he shooting was the result of an altercation between [an] 18-year-old and the occupants of a white sedan, authorities said. Investigators learned the 7-year-old boy was not related to the older teen and had nothing to do with the dispute. He was struck by a stray bullet while inside his home.”

This is the sixth similar incident reported here since the beginning of April.
