A 9-year-old boy was shot in the leg late Saturday night in the South Side Kenwood neighborhood, according to Chicago Police.
The 9-year-old entered a room inside a residence on the 5000 block of South East End Avenue around 11:30 p.m., police said, where he found a gun. A man inside the residence attempted to retrieve the gun from the 9-year-old, when the gun went off and shot the boy in the leg, police said.
The boy was initially transported to a University of Chicago hospital but is now at Comer Children’s hospital, where he is listed in good condition.
