13 Injured in Chicago Mass Shooting (blog post 5)

http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/20/justice/chicago-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t2


           A mass shooting at a park in Chicago left 13 injured and 3-year-old  Deonta Howard in critical condition after being shot in the head.

            The shooting took place at Cornell Square Park on the south side of Chicago Thursday Sep. 19th. None of the other victims were listed in serious critical condition the next morning.

            Investigators are pushing toward the assumption that the shooting was gang-related. The 3-year-old victim Deonta Howard was shot in the ear and the bullet exited the boy’s mouth.

            “Y’all out here killing these innocent people, kids, parents, grandparents, mothers, fathers; it’s got to stop. You need to stop.” said Deonta Howard’s Grandmother, Semehca Nunn.

            I think that Chicago is a very dangerous place for the youth. Well in general. The city should move toward making it a safer community.
