An eight-year-old who was shot and partially paralyzed in the Highland Park, Illinois, mass shooting, is 'overjoyed' to return to school with his classmates for the first time since the attack, his family says.
Cooper, now in a wheelchair, got to join his twin brother, Luke, at school this week, in what his parents call "an incredible milestone."
They were so impressed to find that Cooper "loved every minute" of his return, the family said. Cooper told them: "If I had not been shot and paralyzed and had to be in a wheelchair, it would have been a perfect school day, but it was a really great day! I loved it!'"But, his parents added, Cooper "is terribly sad about not getting to run around with his friends in the field at recess.
