Baby on life support after Chicago shooting

CHICAGO — A 1-year-old boy remained on life support Friday morning after he was shot in his grandmother’s SUV while sitting in the back seat with his brother and another young boy, according to family and Chicago police.

The grandmother had been dropping someone off at a home in the 9900 block of South Throop Street around 5:30 p.m. Thursday when a dark sedan pulled up and as many as eight shots were fired, according to chief police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

The grandmother checked inside the car and saw that the boy, identified by family as Dijon Walker, had been shot. She drove to Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, where the boy was transferred to Comer Children’s Hospital in “very critical” condition, police said.
