PITTSBURGH (AP) – Authorities say an infant struck by bullets that went into a Pittsburgh home has died from his wounds. Police responding to reports of shots fired around 6 LAST NIGHT – were directed by residents – to a home where they found a year-old boy with a gunshot wound to his head. The child, who has been identified as Zykier Young, was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there several hours later. An initial investigation showed the shots emanated from outside the home, then traveled through a window and two walls before hitting Young. Police said there was a shootout with multiple people firing and Young was simply caught in the crossfire. Investigators said they do have multiple shell casings from the scene, and they are examining security camera footage of the shootout. (Photo:  WPXI)
