FALL RIVER — A child was hit by a car on Choate Street Friday night — and the driver didn’t stop because there was someone in the car with a bullet wound.

Police responded to the scene and found the child alert and conscious. The driver had already fled — racing to get a passenger suffering from a gunshot wound to the hospital.

Police have not said how the passenger was shot, who was driving, or whether anyone has been arrested.

One shooting. One child hit. One car speeding through a residential street with a bleeding passenger inside.

The investigation is ongoing.
