Two people have been arrested after a six-year-old boy was injured when shots were fired at a house.
The boy is thought to have been inside the property in Wolverhampton when it was targeted with a shotgun shortly before 16:00 BST.
He sustained non life-threatening injuries to his back and hand in the shooting on Ashbourne Road in the Eastfield area of the city.
A boy, 17, and a 24-year-old man have been held on suspicion of wounding.
West Midlands Police described the shooting as a "hugely reckless act".
A resident, who asked not to be named, said three masked offenders ran across a pedestrianised area at the end of Ashbourne Road into Deans Road and fled on foot.
'Reckless act'
The witness said: "I heard two loud bangs and then three guys wearing balaclavas came into the street and I saw one of them put a gun into a bag.
"I think two of them were wearing all white. They had what looked like a dark sports bag and they put the gun in that, then ran off."
Det Insp Rod Rose said: "This was a shocking incident where someone has opened fire with a shotgun in the middle of the day.
"The motive of this attack is not clear at this stage, but it's clearly a hugely reckless act."
