Police have said the shots were fired from behind his home.

The boy's mother, Danielle Davis, has said her home was firebombed early Monday, but she wasn't aware of anyone being injured. Davis said bullets also struck the home in another drive-by shooting about two weeks ago.

Police didn't immediately release updated information.

It is unknown if these crimes were caused by the same person.
