A 12-year-old boy in Connecticut was shot and wounded after a car was hit with a snowball and it circled back to spray the neighborhood with gunfire.

The boy, as well as an 11-year-old were outside throwing snowballs when a car was struck, NBC News reported. The station reported that the car circled the block and chased the children while someone in the vehicle opened fire with a gun.

The 12-year-old was hit multiple times by gunfire but is expected to survive, Fox 61 reported. The incident happened around 7 p.m., Wednesday.

Police are searching for the car and the person or people inside, Fox 61 reported. The incident was apparently caught on surveillance video.

"[A] 12-year-old was with another juvenile, throwing snowballs, one of those snowballs hit a car, that car looped the block and chased the kids and fired rounds at the children," Boisvert told reporters in a clip shared by Fox 61 Connecticut.

The injured boy was rushed to Connecticut Children's Medical Center and treated for multiple non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
