Cooper Roberts, the 8-year-old boy who was left paralyzed after being shot in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade mass shooting, underwent further, complex surgery Tuesday because his condition worsened.
The boy, whose spinal cord was severed by a bullet, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down, was again back in critical condition at the University of Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital after having shown some improvement Friday, according to his family.
