A 14-year-old boy was grazed by a bullet Saturday night while at a school playground in the West Garfield Park neighborhood.
Chicago police said the boy suffered a graze wound to his face about 7 p.m. in the 4400 block of West Wilcox Street, but released no other details about the shooting.
Hefferan Public School is located in the block and has a small playground.
A police spokesman said the boy was wounded by an “unknown offender,” but declined to say whether the shooting had occurred on school property, or nearby. It wasn’t clear whether the boy was the intended target.
The teen was taken to Stroger Hospital for treatment and was listed in good condition, police said.
No arrests were reported.
Area Four detectives are investigating.
