A 5-month-old boy was grazed in the temple and taken taken to Lurie, where he was stabilized and “resting comfortably,” Carter said. Two men, 19 and 25, were also shot; both are stabilized at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
"This is not normal for anyone," Carter said, "whether its Chicago or any other city in this country. It is quite heartbreaking, so to speak, that anyone has no disregard for anyone's life, let alone a 5-month-old child."
Carter said officers responded to the scene and quickly received descriptions of a shooter and a vehicle.
After broadcasting those descriptions, officers tracked the vehicle to the intersection of Princeton Avenue and 37th Street and took two people into custody without incident, Carter said, noting that investigators are looking into whether another person was inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting. Two weapons were recovered during the arrest.
