DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Police in Dallas are investigating a shooting that injured an 8-year-old boy. The violent incident happened around 7:00 p.m. Tuesday night at the La Bella Palms apartment complex, located in the 9400 block of Royal Lane, near Abrams.

The child — identified by family members as Donald Maiden Jr. — was shot in the face around his jaw and taken to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. CBS 11 News has learned that he is now out of surgery and in critical but stable condition. He is expected to survive his injuries.

Witnesses pointed authorities to a pickup truck that was parked nearby. Officers arrested 46-year-old Brian Cloninger in connection to the shooting. He has been charged with injury to a child, and sits behind bars with a $2.2 million bond.

Maiden’s grandmother said that the boy was outside playing with other children when he ran inside to get some toys. The child was shot as he went back outside. “He hit the ground when the guy shot him,” said grandmother Sharon Locklin. “Then, he got up and ran to the house and asked his mom for water, and his mom saw all the blood coming out.”

Mental case?

Neighbors said the suspect, identified by police as 46-year-old Brian Cloninger, tried to drive away after the shooting, but his truck would not start. Then once he was arrested he began acting erratically and started banging his head against the back of the squad car.

The neighbors said they don't know Cloninger and they don't believe he lives in the complex, but they saw him giving away fireworks to children on Monday.

That's what I thought when I first read the story. It just sounded like he wasn't all there.

A 46-year-old man is a WWII veteran?
