A 6-year-old child was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound in Arlington on Wednesday, police said.<\/p>\n

Arlington police officers responded about 7 p.m. to a local hospital after medical staff reported that a 6-year-old child had been brought to the ER with a gunshot wound to the leg, police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Officers learned the incident occurred at a home in the 2300 block of Quail Run Road, where a discharged round went through the floor of an upstairs room and down into the room below where the child was at the time, police said.<\/p>\n

A family member drove the child to the hospital after the shooting, according to police.<\/p>\n

The investigation is ongoing to determine who fired the gun and who the weapon belongs to, police said. No arrests have been made as of Thursday.<\/p>\n
