That's horrible. Chicago style life for our students?
But Annette Holt, mother of Blair Holt, a Chicago Public Schools student who was shot on a city bus two years ago, said Albert represented "another promising future, just snuffed out because of violence."
"Someone said he (Derrion) was in the wrong place at the wrong time," she said. "No, he wasn't. He was in the right place. He was coming from school."
The honor student killed in Chicago recently was leaving school -got hit by a railroad tie and stomped on. So now even our after school events are not safe for our children? The quote above is about this killing.
Tell us more when you can.
*The Chicago Tribune had a front page piece about violence and our youth today.
