CFD said a female student is in stable condition at Comer Children’s Hospital after being shot in the buttocks and leg.

A spokesperson for the school released a statement saying, “This morning, a Perspectives student was shot outside of our school. Our thoughts are with the students, their families, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. Out of an abundance of caution, the school was placed on a soft lockdown, and the Chicago Police Department responded immediately.

“This remains an active investigation, and we are fully cooperating with law enforcement. We are also working closely with the Chicago Public Schools Office of Safety and Security to ensure safe passage home for all students.

“The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority. Counseling and support services are available for those in need.”

Further details on the shooting were not immediately available.
