A nine-year-old boy and his father are in hospital after they were shot during a home invasion at their Maloney Gardens apartment early yesterday morning.

The shootings took place around 4 a.m. when the 49-year-old father, whose name was not given by police, heard banging noises on his front door.

Believing law enforcement was at his home, the man went to open the door. However, before he could do so, two masked gunmen broke down the door and entered the apartment, stated police.
