A child was rushed to a hospital after being shot at a Henry County home Wednesday, officials said.

Officers were called to the 200 block of Robin Hood Lane, just outside of Hampton, around noon regarding the shooting. There, they treated the gunshot victim, who was then flown to a hospital, Henry police spokesman Capt. Randy Lee said.

The victim was described as a “small child,” whose condition and age were not provided.

Police have secured the home and investigators are now trying to understand what led to the shooting. As of 4 p.m., Lee had not said if anyone had been detained.
