Police Seek Suspects In Shooting Of 10-Year-Old Boy

POMONA, CA — A 10-year-old boy was shot and wounded by a stray drive-by bullet, police said, and they are turning over stones to find out who pulled the trigger.

On Tuesday, officers of the Pomona Police Department circulated security photos of an SUV occupied by two suspects wanted in the shooting which occurred at approximately 2:45 p.m. Sunday in the 1100 block of Cornelia Street, Pomona Lt. Brian Hagerty said.

The boy was hospitalized in stable condition with a gunshot wound to his shoulder, Hagerty said.
"It looks like the victim was not the intended target," the lieutenant said.

The vehicle was described as a white, four-door, 2007-2015 Scion XB with chrome rims. The suspects were described only as males.
