The shooting took place shortly after 7 p.m. in the Villa San Ramon neighborhood south of Clint Moore Road and west of Florida’s Turnpike. The 40-year-old woman was shot in the leg while the boy was reportedly shot in the abdomen. Both are expected to survive.

There was one other girl in the home, who was uninjured.

The women fled to a neighbor’s house screaming for help and a police helicopter as well as SWAT units were involved in securing the scene.
