(UPDATE) A one-year old boy found at the scene of a shooting in Billings on Wednesday morning died in a hospital, according to Billings police.
Police did not provide a cause of death in an evening news release nor say whether the boy was shot. A 31-year-old man, who was holding the boy, was found shot to death in the home on the 700 block of North 17th Street.
The incident began around 10 a.m. when police responded to a call of shots fired in the area. Billings Police Lt. Matt Lennick said in a news release that callers told police a vehicle had stopped in front of the residence and fired bullets into the home.
The man and the infant were found inside. Police found the suspect vehicle at the 300 block of South 28th Street and closed off the surrounding area. Ten people were removed from the residence with a possible involvement in the shooting, according to Lennick.
