In Chicago, shot down a fighter with violence
A 13-year-old boy from Chicago who participated in the anti-violence campaign was injured last week by a ricocheted bullet.
The teenager was injured by a stray bullet a few blocks from his home, becoming one of over a dozen people injured throughout the city. He had surgery on Saturday morning and in the afternoon remained in critical condition at Mount Sinai Hospital.
“I don’t want to live in a society where I hear about people being shot and killed,” the youth said in a video posted in February 2015 as part of an awareness campaign called “Black is Human.”

Earlier this month in Washington, DC, the American Advertising Federation awarded the video a Media Award.
Zarriel Trotter was wounded in the lower back on Friday night. Police say the boy was not the target of the shooter. There was a heated discussion between two groups of people, when one participant took out a pistol and started shooting.
Unfortunately, this is the second case in a week when shots are heard near the school. About a week ago, four men were shot a block from the school. None of them was a student of the school.
Dawn was charged with positive energy and tried to study well in school. He loved basketball and threw a ball into the basket in his free time.
He always went to school with his younger brother.
“Every morning he greets me with a big smile on his face. I feel terrible about what happened to him,” said Jamison-Danna, the school’s principal.
