Police say they responded to shots fired last Wednesday in front of Millbrook Houses on East 137th Street. 

When they arrived, they found a 7-year-old boy with a graze wound to his right leg near the corner of East 137th Street and St. Ann's Avenue. 

He was with his grandmother who was unharmed. 

Police say the first person involved in the shooting was arrested Wednesday and is already at Bronx central booking.
