Her name was Hadiya Pendleton and she was only 15 years old:
The
city’s 42nd slaying is part of Chicago’s bloodiest January in more than
a decade, following on the heels of 2012, which ended with more than
500 homicides for the first time since 2008. . . .
About three blocks from Hadiya’s school, she and a group of 10-12 young people, including members of her volleyball team, had taken refuge under a canopy at a park to avoid the rain Tuesday afternoon. A man climbed a fence behind the park, ran at the group and started shooting, and then jumped back over the fence and into a white Nissan. The group scattered, but Hadiya was shot once in the back and a teenage boy was shot in the leg.
Police said Hadiya had no arrest record and there was no indication she was a member of a gang or was the gunman’s target. In fact, McCarthy said there are no indications that anyone in the group was gang-affiliated. He said the police suspect that the gunman may be a member of a gang that considers the park its turf and that he mistook somebody in the group as someone from an encroaching rival gang.
Chicago
has very stringent gun laws. What Chicago doesn’t have is economic
opportunity, honest government or enough law-abiding citizens to keep
the peace, so that neighborhoods are effectively ruled by gangs like the
Satan’s Disciples and the Latin Kings, who terrorize and intimidate
residents. Witnesses will not testify against the gangsters, and the
police — to the extent that Chicago police are not entirely corrupt — are unable to apprehend or effectively prosecute these criminals.About three blocks from Hadiya’s school, she and a group of 10-12 young people, including members of her volleyball team, had taken refuge under a canopy at a park to avoid the rain Tuesday afternoon.

Hadiya Pendleton was murdered about a mile from the $1.6 million-dollar home that Obama purchased in a corrupt deal with Tony Rezko.
This is the future of corruption and criminality — “The Chicago Way” — that Obama is bringing to America as a matter of policy.
