DETROIT (WXYZ) — A child was hospitalized after she was shot in Detroit Saturday night, police said.

The shooting happened around 8:35 p.m. on Evanston Street near Nottingham Road and Berkshire Street.

The Detroit Police Department said a car was driving south on Evanston Street when an 8-year-old girl sitting in the rear seat was shot by someone in another vehicle. The second car, a burgundy Cadillac sedan, was driving north.
