CHICAGO (AP) — A doctor says a toddler shot in the head while riding in a car on Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive has been removed from a medically induced coma but remains in critical condition.
Dr. Marcelo Malakooti of Lurie Children’s Hospital said Saturday that Kayden Swann remains on a ventilator to help with his breathing. He says the 21-month-old boy “continues to demonstrate positive improvements.”
The shooting occurred Tuesday near Grant Park on the city’s South Side.
Police have said one driver would not let another enter a lane of traffic. Kayden was riding in a car driven by his grandfather.
