Mauri Robinson was playing with friends near his apartment at 220 Dunad Avenue at 1:30 Saturday afternoon when he and his loved ones say a bullet from the crossfire struck him and went through his buttocks. The child was rushed to the Ryder Trauma Center and then released this weekend. A photograph shows him waving after he was released from Jackson Memorial Hospital.
