About 2:30 Saturday afternoon, police were called to the Cuts Plus Barber Shop on McMillan Street in Walnut Hills. A 6 year-old boy had been shot while sitting in a barbers chair. 

A barber in the shop at the time said a man walked in and was asking about a woman. He said he was alarmed when he saw the man had a semi-automatic handgun. 00The suspect apparently seemed to be trying to get back at someone and said something like "This is for Wax." 

When that barber tried to grab the gun, he said it went off, striking the 6 year-old in the shoulder. The barber said he had never seen the man before and did not know what he was talking about.

The father of the young boy who was hit was in the shop at the time. He had brought his children to the shop for a trim and to enjoy a pre-Christmas party at the shop. He was hysterical after his son was shot.

The boy was taken to Children's Hospital where he was in stable condition Saturday night. Doctors have said he's expected to have a full recovery.

The suspect in the shooting fled the area immediately after the shots were fired down Kemper Lane.
