Local residents, indeed people nationwide, were distressed to learn that a 13-year-old girl was shot in Chicago last Tuesday morning just before school. How could such a thing happen to a young child on her way to school?
Then, days later, we learned that the young woman and her 14-year-old male accomplice weren’t on their way to school. Or maybe they were on the way to school. One thing is more certain. Cops say that at 7:49 am, the team tried to carjack a woman of her SUV on Chicago’s south side.
