A 6-year-old Pomona boy is in critical condition after being shot Tuesday night.
The incident happened about 5:50 p.m. in the 1400 block of W. 10th Street, Pomona police Lt. Michael Olivieri said. Officials believe the boy was shot by a relative, who was recklessly handling a firearm.
"It looks like the child will survive," Olivieri said regarding the boys condition.
