A teenager shot a 12-year-old boy Saturday in Roseland on the South Side, according to police.
About 7:30 p.m., the older boy, 13, was handling a gun when it went off inside a home in the 700 block of East 105th Place, striking the younger boy in the chest, according to Chicago police.
The 12-year-old was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in serious condition, police said.
A weapon was recovered and the 13-year-old was being questioned by Area Two detectives.
A spokesman for police could not immediately provide more information about the circumstances of the shooting, including whether or not it was believed to be accidental.
