DETROIT — A 4-year-old boy was expected to make a full recovery after police determined he was accidentally shot Tuesday night by his uncle in a Taylor home, Detroit Police said. Police said the boy's mother initially told officers her son was shot in a drive-by shooting while standing at a bus stop near the intersection of Joy and Evergreen roads. Officers investigated the intersection on Detroit's west side and determined the shooting did not happen there. Rather, police said the boy's uncle accidentally shot his gun from the home's second floor, striking the boy on the first floor. It was unclear Wednesday afternoon if the uncle will face charges in connection to the shooting, as Detroit Police turned over the investigation to the Taylor Police Department. No further information was released by police. This is a developing story. Stay with Patch for updates
