A Detroit toddler is in critical condition Wednesday morning after a shooting that police say so far doesn’t make “any sense at all.”

Detroit Assistant Police Chief Charles Fitzgerald told WJBK that the 3-year-old boy’s parents said he was home with a 15-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a 2-month-old when the shooting happened shortly before 1 a.m. The child was taken to the hospital with a gunshot to the stomach before officers arrived.

“The story’s not making any sense at all. Conflicting stories from the mom, conflicting stories from the dad,” Fitzgerald said.”Mom’s version is she went to the laundry mat, came home, they were unloading the car, heard a pop, went inside and checked on the baby and there’s nothing consistent with the scene.”

Fitzgerald said investigators found no shell casings and no gun — or any other evidence that a shooting took place.

“This area here is actually a ShotSpotter area. No indication there was a shot fired over here,” he said.

Police said neighbors have said they also heard no gunshots, WXYZ said.

Both parents have been detained for questioning, he said.
