Maybe she´d be alive today if Holder allowed gun crimes to be classified as federal felonies... with Mandatory Sentences!

93% of gun criminals in Chicago walk free! Who is Holder protecting besides killers? Lawyers?

Reading this I see that this young lady had an intact loving family. She was aspiring to go to Paris, University, and seems to be a person who had her head on straight.
I bet the shooter came from a fatherless family, dropped out, or was not performing well in school. My heart goes out to her family. I hope Obama does what´s right and finally speaks out about the violence in Chicago. Remember, a gun did not kill her, a wild animal did,

i haven´t even read this yet..
i don´t have to..
let me guess..
judges, attorneys and social workers are probably guilty of this crime..
in 99% of the cases the murderer has been allowed on the street by these terrorists..
let me know if i´m wrong..

If it goes like the rest of Hizzoner´s detective work, no suspects will ever be found, unless it suits his next speech points.

I want the shooter and gun traced... How was gun obtained? Legal methods? Full automatic weapon? Random act or retrobution?

Very sad for this family... Rising star able to escape the cycle of welfare mentality cut short in life.

Why doesnt Obama send his girls to a public school in DC?

And the WH used her death today to call for more gun laws.....Chicago has some of the strictest laws in the Country, and one of the largest murder rates... Sickening...

A lovely young woman was stolen from all of us. The article is correct: someone knows something.

The gang mentality of ´´don´t talk to the cops´´ contributes to this tragedy.

R.I.P. Hadiya - gone too soon.

It´s not the judges, lawyers or social workers that are the problem. It´s the fact that prosecutors can´t prosecute criminals without witnesses. When the witnesses know they will be killed for coming forward there are no witnesses. It´s happening in every major crime city in the country.

The thugs have taken over. Police can´t do anything despite their best efforts.

Sympathies to the family.

Why is a 15 year old girl hanging around with a bunch of gang-bangers??? Where was her crying mother then????

How can something like this happen? Doesn´t Chicago have "gun safety laws"?

A group of students from a nearby school were under a canopy in a park as it was raining. Someone jumped over the fence and began shooting.

Everyone ran. This young girl was shot in the back and died at the hospital. Another youngster was shot but survived.

Sadly, no one is talking. Not a single person is willing to come forward.

This is Obama´s home town. Rahm time in the city of Chicago.

G-d help those poor people.

I can´t imagine the pain this father is going thru. Seeing his daughter at the inauguration must have been the thrill of a lifetime, then within days something so senseless takes her away.

#9, try reading the article before blaming the girl herself. Hanging with gangbangers? Where did you get that? She was with her volleyball team after practice at King College Prep, her school. On her way home to her family. Why assume she was doing something bad when you didn´t even read the article? The shooter jumped a fence and started shooting at these kids.

If only she hadn´t lived in Chicago...the one place in the world where they are cracking down on guns.

all these children are dying on the streets controlled by "FU" Emanuel and MSN attacks legal gun owners.

WTH????

Øbama and his slave media must be having a Homer Moment over this - "Doh!" It forces them to acknowledge the vicious black-on-black gun violence they have so far very effectively ignored. Take the black-on-black gun murders out of the equation, the US falls to the equivalent of Sweden in gun violence per capita!

Waddaya wanna bet? Øbama pays very short lip service to this one- and the media will give it a day in the spotlight and then slink away.

It´s time to, tell black mothers bluntly -You vote Democrat, you DESERVE to have your children die of gun fire. Sounds brutal. But there is no other way to shake out the 97% vote for 0bama.

I´m still trying to process that 90% of Chicago´s violent crimes are not prosecuted because the police aren´t capable of solving the crimes without criminals being given amnesty.

#17 inexcusably cruel. For shame.

This was a beautiful young innocent girl whose only "crime" was trying get out of the torrential rain we had here yesterday.

She was shot in the back.

Someone ought to at least get here and give these thugs some lessons on hitting their intended targets. If they´d only kill each other...so be it.

BUT...they seem to hit babies sleeping in their beds, children walking home from school,elderly neighbors and honor students.

Tamara Hall said on Hannity yesterday that it was gangbangers shooting gangbangers. Maybe she should watch the opening story EVERY night on our local 10PM newscasts.

"Gun violence" by a "gunman"? How about "crazy violence" by a "crazy man"? I´ve never been attacked by a gun. I´ve never had a gun drive by my park and try to kill me. No, only people do that. We need crazy people control to eliminate crazy violence.

What was such an upstanding young girl doing in a park at 2:30 pm on a school day, hanging out with gang-bangers?

Rahm Emanuel, Eric Holder, Barack 0bama are responsible.

Haven´t we always known, really, that it´s much better to live in a hole in the ground in Nebraska or in a tent in Idaho or a single-wide in Tennessee, than to live anywhere near any city with more than a million people in it. Haven´t we always known that?

Snitches get stitches. Until the black community comes to its senses and works hand-in-hand with law enforcement, nothing will change. They´d rather have baby-faced gangbangers walking the streets than help put them in prison where they belong. As tragic as it is, they have their own culture to blame.

#22 could you read the article....please..sheesh....

#9--this happened after school, in the afternoon. She was "hanging around" with classmates, not gangbangers. She attended a college prep high school with selective admission. Mothers can´t be with teenagers every second of the day. This is the fault of the shooter, not the victim, not her mother.

And #22, it was final exams day at her school and school let out early. It was also pouring rain and she and her friends went to the park to have some shelter.

I hold "twinkle toes" Rahm Emanuel responsible for this gun carnage in Chicago. Rahm is a crazy liberal who thinks that banning guns will get guns off the streets. Chicago is basically a gun-free zone thanks to crazy Liberals like Rahm, so only criminals have guns and commit daily atrocities like this.

#9, students escaping the rain under a comply equals a gang? Stop with the cubit n paste, read the article
