A 4-year-old boy was among seven people injured in a Saturday night shooting that left one suspect dead in Harvey, a spokesperson for the city said.

A house party was underway in the 14400 block of Des Plaines Street when, just after 8 p.m., two people arrived at the party and opened fire. One of the partygoers was armed and licensed for concealed carry and returned fire at the suspects, striking and killing one and injuring the other. The injured suspect was taken to a hospital in stable condition and is now in police custody.

Preliminary reports show that five people other than the suspects were shot, the youngest of whom was a 4-year-old boy. The boy is in stable condition at a hospital, and so are the other four victims, according to a city spokesperson.
