A 4-year-old boy is in critical condition after being shot in the head last night near Dead Man's Curve in what is thought to be a road-rage incident.
Cleveland police report that the 4-year-old was conscious and breathing when he was taken to University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital for emergency surgery Monday morning.
The shooting occurred amid an escalating road-rage incident that began near West 28th Street and Division Avenue, according to police. The mother of the 4-year-old said she honked her horn to pass a vehicle that was blocking the road there. The vehicle, a white four-door Pontiac with tinted windows, then reportedly followed her onto the Shoreway before one of the occupants opened fire.
Two African-American males were said to be inside the vehicle. Police are searching for the Pontiac.
