At a nearby hospital, a young child who was discovered bloodied and unaccompanied amid the commotion of the Highland Park Fourth of July shooting has been reunited with his grandparents.
According to a tweet from Jackie Kostek of CBS Chicago, the toddler was discovered alone and kept “safe but with strangers.” The boy’s relationship to his parents and/or grandparents is unknown.
After the shooter started firing, a local chef who has not been named grabbed him.
Uncertainty surrounds whether the child’s blood or that of someone else is visible stains on the child’s leg and shoes.
