The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the incident occurred inside an apartment on the 1300 block of Hyde Park Boulevard shortly after midnight.

The teenager sustained a gunshot wound to the chest, prompting emergency responders to rush him to Comer Children’s Hospital, as detailed by the Chicago Sun-Times.
