A 16-year-old boy was shot in the chest when he answered a knock on his home's door early Sunday, Dallas police said.
Police responded around 3:40 a.m. to the shooting on the 3800 block of South Tyler Street.
Another person at the home told police he and the 16-year-old were at home when an unknown man knocked on the door.
When the 16-year-old answered the door, he saw a flash from a gun and felt a pain in his chest, police said.
The shooter then fled.
First responders took the teen to a local hospital in critical condition, according to police.
