8-year-old injured during Highland park shooting was shot in chest and suffered a severed spinal cord

A family spokesperson says 8-year-old Cooper Roberts is in critical but stable condition after he was shot in the chest and suffered a severed spinal cord during the Highland Park mass shooting on July 4. At least seven people have died and dozens more were wounded. Katie Goldstein, a loving mother and wife, was murdered while at the Independence Day parade with her daughter. Her husband Craig Goldstein tells Anderson Cooper the kind of mom, partner and person his wife was and said she “always had a smile on her face” because “that’s what was in her heart.” Plus, two-time U.S. Olympic basketball gold medalist Brittney Griner pleaded guilty to drug charges in a Russian court. The U.S. State Department has classified the WNBA star as wrongfully detained as she faces up to 10 years in prison. CNN’s Abby Phillip recently sat down with Griner’s wife, Cherelle Griner, the night before the trial began. Abby joins AC360 to give details about Griner’s decision to plead guilty and what will happen next in her trial.
