A three-year-old boy being taken out shopping by his grandmother has been killed in a road rage shooting in Little Rock, Arkansas, US police say.<\/p>\n
Their vehicle was fired upon by another driver who thought the woman had not driven quickly enough through a stop sign, police said.<\/p>\n
The grandmother drove away but the boy later died in hospital.<\/p>\n
Police are hunting for a black Chevrolet Impala but gave few details of the man driving it.<\/p>\n
The boy and his grandmother “were completely innocent” and had no relationship with Saturday’s gunman, Little Rock Police tweeted.<\/p>\n
“This is probably one of the most frustrating things you will encounter in your career when it involves children, particularly of kids that are [at] this age very innocent, they can do very little to protect themselves,” said Chief Kenton Buckner.<\/p>\n
The victim was struck at least once, police said. His grandmother was initially unaware he had been shot when she drove off, later calling police from a shopping centre.<\/p>\n
The identity of the pair has not been released.<\/p>\n
