Police in Charles County are investigating a shooting in a Waldorf apartment complex that left a 9-year-old boy hurt Friday night.

Investigators say just before 10 p.m., officers responded to Charles Regional Medical Center after learning that the victim had checked in with a gunshot wound to his leg. 

Officers learned the boy was shot while he and another child were carrying groceries up to an apartment in the 2000 block of Amber Leaf Place. They say the shots were fired from the parking lot of the complex by a small caliber gun or a pellet gun.
