A mother (identified as Pettigrew), her baby, and a toddler where in the car. Pettigrew was shot in the arm and a bullet grazed the baby’s head. Pettigrew was taken to Grant Medical Center, was treated and released, whereas Mekhi was taken to Nationwide Children’s and is listed in stable condition.
