8-year-old Cooper Roberts, who was left paralyzed after the Highland Park mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Illinois, is in critical condition after undergoing urgent surgery.
"The doctors were able to find and close the leak. This is a good outcome – Cooper is still fighting! His condition is being closely monitored and the next days will be critical to ensure that he responds positively," family spokesman Anthony Loizzi said Tuesday.
The young boy was initially treated after a bullet hit him directly and severed his spine. He then suffered a collapsed lung and was placed on a ventilator in critical condition.
