The boy was shot just before 10 p.m. in the 4700 block of North Sacramento, and was listed in good condition at the Children's Memorial Hospital, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The boy was injured in Ronan Park while he was standing "with several others" on a bridge over the Chicago River, according to the Chicago Tribune. Another police source told Fox Chicago that the boy was an innocent bystander in the shooting.
