Teen slain after performing at inaugural: 'Happiest day of her life and then she's gone'

[Virus]

This one has me wondering how a gunman out of nowhere would just shoot two innocent girls. Cruel very cruel.

A 15-year-old Chicago girl gunned down a week after she performed during President Obama’s inaugural festivities was remembered Wednesday as a “walking angel” – the last person her family could imagine dying by a bullet.

I hope they catch him and give him a good beating before throwing him in jail.

If the average twit can walk in a gun store, take ZERO training, and walk out with a gun a couple of weeks later, then the laws are not tough enough.

Of course there are illegal guns. But how many crimes are commited with non-registered weapons versus registered ones? Now, take away the option of having a registered gun in the house and you remove a huge number of incidents caused by anger, alcohol, drugs, or a combination of the three. Even in countries like England where guns are truly very restricted, there are still gun-related crimes. But look at the percentage by population. Guess who is the lower...England or US?

Another tragic and senseless loss.

Seems she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
