A 7-year-old boy was shot in leg during a domestic dispute early this morning.

The incident happened at 1202 South Buchanan around 1am.  According to police a 38-year-old man attempted to shot a 36-year-old woman who was in bed sleeping with her 7-year-old son.  The shooter missed the mother but struck the youth in the leg.

Two other juveniles in the residence heard the shot and a 15-year-old managed to get the gun away from the assailant and tossed it out a window.  The man then fled the residence in a Dodge Ram.

The 7-year-old was taken to the emergency room.
