CLEVES, Ohio — An 8-year-old child was struck by an errant round while at a baseball field in Cleves Saturday afternoon, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies responded to a baseball field in Farwick Fields shortly after 4:40 p.m. for reports of a person who had been shot, said a spokesman for the HCSO.
Authorities said someone in the area had been firing a gun in a privately owned "makeshift firing range," and that a 8-year-old child had been hit.
The child suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
The investigation is ongoing and is being conducted by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Section. It is unknown at this time if anyone will be facing charges for the shooting.
Jim Brett, fiscal officer with Whitewater Township, said they believe the bullet was fired from a property along the Great Miami River, but had no further information to share.
