A Chicago shooting critically wounded a 12-year-old boy along 21st Place on the Lower West Side, CPD said.Chicago police are investigating after a 12-year-old boy was shot while celebrating his grandmother's birthday Tuesday on the city's Southwest Side.
The boy and his uncle were returning to a family party in the 1800 block of West 21st Place when they saw three cars circling the area, Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan told reporters at police headquarters Wednesday. The boy was hit in the right side of the head and was rushed to Stroger Hospital, police said. He remained in "extremely" critical condition, Deenihan said.
"This is just extremely tragic," Deenihan said. "The people we have in custody are gang members. We believe that they were just shooting at this individual because they didn't recognize him from the neighborhood."However, Deenihan acknowledged that investigators don't "have enough information to say that these are the defendants in this case" as he called for the public's help.
