in Highland Park, 8-year-old Cooper Roberts has returned to school, his family said in a statement Monday.The boy’s parents, Jason and Keely Roberts, in an update on their GoFundMe page, said their son’s return to school “is an incredible milestone for a little boy who almost three months to the day of his first day of third grade had been desperately fighting for his life from critical gunshot wound and is now wheelchair bound.
Roberts was among the youngest victims of the Fourth of July parade shooting that left seven people dead and dozens more wounded. He was shot in the back, and the bullet ripped through his body, severely damaging his aorta, liver, esophagus and spinal cord before exiting through his chest. His twin brother, Luke, was also hit by shrapnel during the shooting, and their mother was wounded in the leg.
