DALLAS — A child was hospitalized Tuesday night after suffering a gunshot wound to the face at a Northeast Dallas apartment complex.

A witness said the eight-year-old victim was playing "tag" with his friends at the Fox Hollow apartments at 9450 Royal Lane.

"The next thing I know, I heard a loud 'bang,' and he ran around the corner with a mouth full of blood," the witness said.

The child had been shot in the jaw.

Investigating officers were led to a nearby vehicle where one person was arrested.

The name and condition of the wounded child was not released.

Additional details were pending.

Its definitely not the 1960s or 1970s any more. Generation after generation raised to have little value on human life and we end up with a percentage of the population that ought to be disowned and deported to a country where feral humans are common.

It is apparently a “project” or “subsidized housing.”

Yep, when I was a kid we didn’t have civil rights for perverts and gangbangers. We could play up and down the street and even walk to the mall or skating rink.
