OAKLAND, Calif. —
The 2-year-old boy who was hit by a stray bullet while playing in the front yard of his home in East Oakland remained in critical but stable condition at Children's Hospital Friday evening.
Distraught family members were at the hospital. They were outraged over the shooting that injured the innocent young boy. KTVU spoke with the boy's aunt in front of Children's Hospital about what happened.
"We seen that baby with that bullet and that blood," said the aunt, who gave her name as Amber. "They don't know the aftermath of what they did to somebody's child. When they're out there just shooting at people, y'all don't worry about nobody's kids."
The shooting occurred shortly before 2 p.m. in the 9200 block of Sunnyside Street, police said.

Right out in broad daylight, too, around 2:00 pm.
And on Sunnyside Street.
Drugs and poverty and hopelessness, this tragedy belongs to all of us.

of posting it in LBN.. but the mod said its a local story, not national. 
How many kids have to be hit by bullets before it becomes a national story? Just wondering...
And once upon a time this story wouldn't have been allowed there, either, so don't despair.
I'm a host for both but wasn't checking alerts.
But LBN is truly reserved for the kinds of news that's breaking and that would make national news outlets.
Sadly, deaths by gun are such a daily occurrence that they aren't national news.
