A 10-year-old boy was shot Wednesday in Chicago toward the end of a day that saw at least three people slain and 20 others wounded, police and local media said.
The boy was standing on North Waller Avenue just before 8 p.m. when a group of men on a nearby street corner began fighting, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a Chicago Police Department spokesman.
During the melee, one of the men pulled out a handgun and opened fire, Alfaro said.
“I’m assuming he was shooting at the other individuals,” he added. “He wasn’t shooting at the child.”
Chicago detectives were continuing their investigation Thursday, and no arrests had been made, Alfaro said.
