Two boys, aged 12 and 14, were seriously injured in a shooting incident on Chicago's South Side, specifically in South Shore, on Monday afternoon. The children were inside their vehicle when they were chased by a sedan and shot. Both victims were transported to Comer Children’s Hospital in serious to critical condition. The shooting occurred a block from an elementary school. Hours after the incident, Chicago police arrested two individuals following a SWAT standoff near the location where the boys were found wounded. The event may be connected to a broader pattern of violence over the Presidents Day holiday weekend in Chicago, which saw three fatalities due to gunfire and multiple injuries.
