The child was riding in a car with his father about 1:30 p.m. when someone started shooting at them from another four-door sedan in the 14600 block of Des Plaines Street, according to a statement from Harvey Police Chief Gregory Thomas.

The boy was hit and is being treated at the intensive care unit at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Thomas said.
