Man arrested in shooting of child near Detroit drug house

DETROIT — Police say a 37-year-old man has been arrested in the shooting of a 2-year-old Detroit girl that stemmed from her father's attempt to buy drugs.
Police say Wednesday in a release that the man has been charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder, using a firearm during a felony and being a habitual offender.
Narcotics officers arrested him Monday night outside the drug house where the girl was shot last week. The girl's father initially told police he randomly had been shot at while driving along a Detroit street, but later admitted it was while trying to buy drugs.
His daughter was in the back seat and suffered a gunshot to her hip. It was not immediately known Wednesday if she had been released after treatment at a local hospital. http://bit.ly/90ImgC
