A 9-year-old boy is said to be in grave condition after he got shot in the head by a stray bullet outside the Mayfair Mansions apartment complex in Northeast D.C. <br />The boy was an unintended victim during the exchange of gunfire around 9 p.m. in the 3700 block of Hayes Street NE. He was shot in the parking lot of Mayfair Mansions apartments, right next to a neighborhood playground. <br />Responding officers cradled the boy and transported him to a hospital in a police cruiser. <br />"[The neighborhood] is a ghost town. I'm scared to come outside," one neighbor said. <br />"I would just like the community to keep praying for my little brother... at some point it all needs to end before everybody is doing what we're doing as a family," the victim's sister said. <br />Two men were also injured in the shooting, having suffered non-life threatening injuries. Police haven't said whether those men are victims or suspects as they piece together what happened that rainy Friday night. <br />Some weapons have been recovered from near the scene.
