Days after police conducted an investigation into a shooting at the home of Bengals running back Joe Mixon, authorities are not considering Mixon as a suspect. Hamilton County police released an incident report on Thursday, per ESPN’s Ben Baby.
The investigation began after a child was shot in the foot in the backyard of a home neighboring a house that’s listed as belonging to Mixon. According to the report, children at the house were playing a game called “dart wars” in which they shot toy guns with foam bullets at one another on Monday evening. Around 8:30 p.m., 11 shots were fired from the neighboring home that’s connected to Mixon, one of which struck the victim in the foot.
Police said on Thursday that no charges have been filed yet, and that there are two suspects. The injuries to the child are not believed to be life-threatening.
