Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw released a statement about the incident, where she said:

We are heartbroken by the tragedy that occurred this evening on the 200 block of Simpson Street. An innocent seven-year-old was struck by gunfire and is in grave condition. Although an individual has been taken into custody, that does not diminish the impact this senseless act has on the child, his family, and the entire community.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the 7-year-old boy, may his soul rest in peace.
