Cooper Roberts was shot at a parade in Highland Park, Illinois, in 2022.
Now, two years later, Cooper, who just celebrated his 10th birthday, is beginning to grasp how permanently the shooting changed his life, according to his mom, Keely Roberts.
"The emotional trauma this has been, I don't have words to describe what that's like," Roberts said, adding, "None of us are the same people that we were before.
In the absence of soccer, Roberts said Cooper has begun to try playing adaptive sports, including wheelchair basketball and his new favorite sport, sled hockey.
