WEST PALM BEACH, FL (WFLX) - A 4-year-old child has been injured after a drive-by shooting in West Palm Beach.

According to Allan Ortman with the West Palm Beach Police Department, the child was inside a house and struck by a bullet.

Police say the gunfire came from a vehicle driving by a park near Windsor Avenue and apparently intended for a group of men. As the vehicle traveled by the home they also fired three rounds at the residence.

A 2 and 4-year old were inside with their grandparents.

One of the bullets struck the 4-year-old in the mouth and exited. The victim is being treated at St. Mary's Medical Center.

The incident happened around 11:04 Thursday morning.
