CHICAGO—A curfew banning unaccompanied minors will be implemented after a 16-year-old boy was fatally shot near “The Bean” sculpture in downtown Chicago’s Millennium Park, which is among the city’s most popular tourist attractions, city officials said Sunday.
Police said the teen was shot in the chest at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday near the giant, mirrored structure. Police didn’t immediately release the teen’s name.
He was taken to Lurie Children’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Officials announced Sunday afternoon that minors will not be allowed in the park after 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday without an adult. Officials did not comment on how the curfew will be enforced.
