Chicago’s gun violence is taking a grim toll on city’s youth.
An 11-year-old girl has become the latest child in Chicago to be killed by gunfire this past weekend when a stray bullet penetrated through a bedroom window and struck her.
Shamiya Adams was at a sleepover when a shooting occurred outside and a bullet hit her in the head, according to ABC News station WLS.
She is one of 10 children under the age of 18 who have been killed since the summer began, according to Chicago officials.
There were three other people killed and 39 injured this weekend. More than 70 individuals have been killed since Memorial Day weekend, many of whom were young men in their teens and early twenties.
