Late Wednesday night 7-year-old Heaven Banks was sitting next to
her mother as she sold snacks and snow cones when someone opened fire down the street
around 10:45 p.m. A stray bullet hit the little girl as she ran back to her
house in the 1700 block of North Luna Avenue.
The block was filled with children playing when two men came out out a gangway and
one of them started shooting at a group of people standing on the sidewalk near
the candy stand. A 19-year-old man, described by police as a gang member, was wounded in the
ankle and taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood.
Heaven was shot in the back and died half an hour later.

I feel so sorry for the mother/family, but there's no way my 6 year will be on some street corner.
How often do we hear pols say this is "FOR THE CHILDREN" when referring to whatever new and very special law/policy they wish to pass?
Nothing has done more damage to 'the children' than the democRAT policies of the last 40+ years.

To the last post, I couldn't agree with you more. However, it would help if you cleaned up your grammar and spelling. People listen more effectively when you speak/type more effectively.
We as a people need to stand up an take charge of our community cause we no the shooters they our brothers they our cousins they our best friends they our fathers they people u let on your porch people u let in your house it hearts so much but what we going do keep letting our kids keep taken life

racist ass headline .
Anon 3:37 I can't undestand what you said. You can do better.
I agree anon 11:11. Totally racist headline. It is the WHITE community that has successfully created and maintained the MOST SEGREGATED, MOST RACIST city in the US FOR DECADES.
WHTE ELITES, ARE YOU PROUD OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
That shiny lakefront loop is built ON THE BACKS OF generations of blacks that have gotten NO RESOURCES - no decent schooling, no grocery stores, no police protection, no access to successful people as role models.
And no its not just the whites. There are plenty of rich powerful connected influential black people who never go to Austin.
Its time for those powerful black people to get their phenomenonally pale black asses into these neighborhoods. Force police protection to follow them. Attract media, and make people see what is going on in the poorest neighborhoods.
The problem is that no one wants to be a so called snitch. Well to anyone out there who knows someone that has committed a crime against another human being the don't hide him and if you do go out and call 911 and let the police come pick them up. That's the problem. These gang bangers and other individuals who are committing crimes don't care about me, you and no one else.The police can only do so much and it's not about black, white what ever color or nationality. It's about people who have total disregard for themselves, and other people no matter what age. How can you claim a block or neighborhood when you don't even have a job. You don't pay taxes nine times out of ten you're living with your parents and amongst people who are and have worked for all they have. Pick up the phone people call 911 or some kind of hotline. Stop the madness. R.I.P. baby girl you did good.
There no way i let my kid be out side that late
The Mom was outside gang banging and the lil,baby got it so sad may she rest in peace
"That shiny lakefront loop is built ON THE BACKS OF generations of blacks that have gotten NO RESOURCES - no decent schooling, no grocery stores, no police protection"
and there we have it - this is exactly why blacks are still on the democrat plantation known as chicago's south and west sides - because it's ALWAYS SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAULT!!!!
it's not ever the fault of the community residents, it's ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT!
too bad, it really does NOT have to be that way - but keep voting democrat - i'm sure it will get better for you sometime in the (distant) future ......
"WHTE ELITES, ARE YOU PROUD OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING?"
it's not that i'm proud, it's just that i don't care.
and you re-inforce my not caring when you blame everyone but yourself and your neighbors.
