A female teenager and a male teenager were shot on Chicago’s South Side Tuesday afternoon, according to Chicago police.
It happened at about 2:30 p.m. near 45th and Oakenwald. According to the Chicago Tribune, the shooting occurred about three blocks from King College Prep.
The female teen was shot in the back, and the male teen was shot in the leg. Both were transported to Comer Children’s Hospital. The condition of either patient was unavailable.
Hadiya Pendelton was shot in the back and killed while standing with friends inside Harsh Park after taking final exams on Tuesday. The-15 year-old student at King College Prep was killed just a week after performing at events for President Obama’s inauguration.
Police believe the shooter mistook the group for a rival gang.
Two reputed gang members have since been charged in the murder of Hadiya. Micheail Ward, 18, and Kenneth Williams, 20, are being held without bond.

Chicago is out of control. Too many babies are gettting killed because of the ignorance of our ppl. When is it going to end?? Bring in the national guards, put out a curfew and if any body is out after curfew, lock them up!! Somewhere somebody has seen what happen, and are scared to say anything about it. Why because its their son or nephew or someone that they know!! The communities and different organizations need to come together and stick together to stop this violence!! I don't think that a gun law is going to do it, because the gang members find a way to get guns!!
