A strange and messed-up story coming out of Detroit.
The Detroit Free Press: 1-year-old hospitalized after being shot amid fight over Uber Eats delivery
Apparently the concealed carry holder mom had driven home and then got into an altercation allegedly because her neighbor stole the mom's Uber Eats chicken delivery.
Neighbor took umbrage at the accusation of chicken theft and things escalated from there and neighbor then came at mom with a hammer.
Mom then retrieves gun from car, shoots at neighbor wielding hammer and somehow manages to hit her own kid in the child-seat in the car's backseat, but apparently doesn't hit hammer-wielding neighbor, or at least that's not reported as part of the story.
Strangely, no one immediately realizes the child has been hit in the altercation.
About the only way I can see this happening is if the neighbor with the hammer is chasing her around the car and she then has no idea of what's beyond her target when she's shooting at the hammer wielder, but it is completely unclear how this occurred from the story.
There's even less detail at the Detroit News report on the events.
Hopefully we get a little more clarity in follow-up reports, if there will be any.
Always knowing and being aware of your backstop when shooting, for any reason, certainly matters.

Sigh... That it does... Just ask the San Diego PD.
