A young Ohio boy was fatally shot while attending a birthday party on Saturday, according to police.

She told Cleveland.com that paramedics transported the child to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The party was hosted by a 16-year-old boy whose mother gave him permission to have the gathering Saturday night, investigators said. She was at a nearby store during the shooting and found out what happened when she got home that night.
