A 15-year-old student from Glenbard East High School was shot last week in Chicago, police and school officials said Friday.

The teen, Michael Moss, was struck in the stomach while on the 4800 block of South Ada Street in the Back of the Yards neighborhood about 4 p.m. Dec. 19, Chicago police said. No one is in custody in connection with the shooting.

Police did not release any suspect information.

Michael is an honor student and basketball player at the Lombard high school, his family told ABC 7. He was in Chicago visiting relatives and went for a walk to a McDonald’s when he was shot four times.

He remains in the intensive-care unit at the University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital.

“We are saddened by this horrific act of violence,” Glenbard East Principal Shahe Bagdasarian said in an email Friday. “Our faculty and staff will provide support to any students who need it.”

Students are due to return from winter break Tuesday.

Moss’ cousin Blair Gray, speaking on behalf of the family, said Friday that when she spoke with him, “He said he is doing OK. It’s just going to be a long recovery ahead of us, but with family and God, I think things are just going to look better.”

She described Moss’ attitude as “standing strong” and “trying to be as normal as possible. It’s just hard.”

She added: “When you first meet him, you instantly fall in love with him. He is so kind. He just wants to help people.”

She said the family is thankful for the donations through a GoFundMe account, which has accumulated more than $7,000.
