From the Chicago Tribune: Hours after Destini Warren, 14, attended President Barack Obama’s speech against gun violence Friday, her family learned of a terrible irony.
Destini’s sister, Janay McFarlane, 18, was the victim of the very thing that the President was condemning at Hyde Park Academy.
McFarlane, of the 8900 block of South Lowe Avenue, was visiting friends and family in North Chicago when she was shot on her way to a store in the northern suburb, her family said.
She was pronounced dead at 11:30 p.m., shortly after sustaining a single gunshot wound to her head, according to the Lake County Coroner’s office.
North Chicago Police officials did not return calls for comment Saturday.
Angela Blakely, the mother of both girls, said that the family had been anticipating the President's visit to the school where Destini is a freshman.
Leading up to the visit, McFarlane frequently mentioned the recent death of Hadiya Pendleton, 15, whose own shooting death a mile from the Obama's home spurred the President's visit. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-woman-fatally-shot-on-day-sister-hears-obama-speak-of-gun-violence-20130216,0,3001041.story
Obviously, the people of Chicago really don't care what the former community organizer and complete loser says.
