A teenager and toddler were shot in Southgate on Sunday night, police said.

The shooting took place during a family argument at about 11 p.m. near the area of Dix and Northline. More than a dozen people were at the home on Agnes Street.

We're told a 60-year-old man is in custody as a person of interest, and he is the grandfather to both the toddler and the teen. He was also hit in the exchange of gunfire.

Police say alcohol was a factor in the argument that led up to the shooting.

A 16-year-old girl was hit in the wrist and the two-year-old was grazed across the face. Both are doing well. 

A neighbor tells 7 Action News she was just getting to sleep when she heard numerous shots being fired, maybe even a dozen.

No other information is available at this time.
