8-Year-Old Boy Paralyzed in July 4 Highland Park Shooting to Be Honored by Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers plan to honor an 8-year-old boy who was paralyzed from the waist down in the July 4 Highland Park, Illinois, shooting during Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Miller Park.

The Brewers will hang a No. 22 Cooper Roberts jersey in their dugout Friday to honor the boy, according to ESPN's Jesse Rogers. In addition, the club is giving Cooper and his twin brother, Luke, each a team-signed City Connect jersey, and Christian Yelich recorded a video to be shared with his family.

Cooper, his brother and his mother were all shot Monday during a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Illinois.
