An early-morning shooting in eastern Jefferson County left a young boy dead.

Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched just after midnight to a residence in the 300 block of Oxford Acres Circle. When they arrived, they found the 12-year-old boy had sustained a gunshot wound, said Lt. Joni Money.

Deputies attempted life-saving measures, and the child was transported to Children’s Hospital, but medical personnel were unable to revive him.

Detectives are continuing the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

The shooting was one of two overnight involving juveniles.

A 9-year-old girl was critically injured when she and her 31-year-old father were shot Friday night during a possible robbery at the Sun Inn on Bessemer Road in west Birmingham.
