Boy shot in bathroom

A 7-year-old boy was killed by a stray bullet while washing his hands in the bathroom of his family’s Chicago home. The boy was apparently getting ready for bed when someone fired multiple shots in a nearby alley and a stray bullet struck the child in the abdomen, police said. The boy was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died. Investigators aren’t sure what prompted the shooting, but authorities do not believe anyone in the home was the intended target. Detectives are examining private video footage from the area in the hopes of identifying a suspect.
