LONG BEACH - A 4-year-old boy was grazed by a stray bullet that ripped through two walls of a home in a Long Beach public housing complex, police say.
Authorities say bullet struck the boy's ear. He is being treated at Nassau University Medical Center and is expected to be OK.
Police say the shooting was sparked by a confrontation between two men at the Channel Park Homes Friday afternoon. They say the bullet went through the outside wall of the victim's home and through an interior wall before striking the child.
