A 2-year-old boy shot dead while playing in the front yard of a South Bend home with his 7-year-old sister may have been struck by a bullet from a gunfight between two rival groups that began about a block away, police said.
An argument began between the two groups around 6 p.m. Wednesday about a block from where the 2-year-old was playing, and escalated into shots being fire, police said. One group began running west toward the boy and the other group continued shooting.
Police say no one has been arrested and no suspects were in custody Thursday in the shooting of John Swoeveland Jr. Autopsy results released Thursday showed the boy died of a gunshot wound to the chest and ruled the death a homicide.
