The boy was shot in the chest, his 33-year-old father was hit in the leg and a second man, in his 30s, was shot while running from the SUV.
"We are having is an issue with people being violent for no reason," Cmdr. Williams said. "Right now people should be celebrating Father's Day and what we have is a father and a child at a hospital with gunshot wounds. We have an issue with gun violence in the city that is just ridiculous."
