2 Arrested in Shooting Death of Chicago Teen

HeadlineFeb 12, 2013

Two men have been charged in the shooting death of a 15-year-old girl struck by random gunfire just days after taking part in President Obama’s inauguration. Hadiya Pendleton had recently returned from Washington, where she had performed with her school marching band during the inaugural festivities. She was laid to rest on Saturday at a funeral attended by first lady Michelle Obama. Police say the suspects are 18- and 20-year-old members of a street gang who opened fire at a group of students they mistook for gang rivals.
