The mother of an 11-year-old Chicago girl who was killed by a stray bullet fired into her friend's home during a slumber party didn't allow the girl or her twin brother to play outside because she was so afraid of the city's street violence, the girl's great-grandmother said Sunday.
Lourene Miller said that if her great-granddaughter, Shamiya Adams, was going to hang out with friends, she had to remain indoors.
"My granddaughter (the girl's mother, Shaneetha Goodloe) would cry every time she'd see a child killed on the news (and) Shamiya was never just out."
A police spokeswoman, Janel Sedevic, said Sunday afternoon that nobody has been arrested in Friday's shooting. He declined to say if there were any suspects. Investigators believe the person who fired the fatal shot was apparently aiming at a rival in a gang dispute, but missed. The bullet went through an open window of the house, pierced a wall and struck Shamiya in the back of the head.

Good thing they have some very strict guns laws.
Honest citizens have to hide in their houses and kids can't play.
The police protected them well, too.
Buy guns. Keep them close and loaded. And don't think you need anyone's permission to do it.
The ones who put these laws in place have their own heavily armed police presence (with LOTS of those terrible guns) to make sure you don't get too close and THEY remain safe.
"We, the people" are on our own.
Never forget that.
How's that gun control thingy working for ya Rahm!
Gun control leaves civilians weaponless and the "bad guy" better armed than the police.
Chicago proves the point.
Anyone who thinks gun control could ever work is nothing more than a GD fool.
You would think it's rocket science or something with these pathetically ignorant liberals.
Cocaine, crack, meth, heroin are all illegal and you can buy them on just about any city street corner.
Never waste a crisis...Mr. emmanuel.
Liberal policies at their finest.
Currently propagating in Marylandistan
To me gun control is hitting what you aim at. Somebody breaks in to my house when I'm home will learn all about gun control.
With all the anti-gun laws that the liberal Democrats enact allows us common sense people to adapt. Simple crossbows and and portable nail guns work just as well. You can build a simple pvc potato cannon that can be fired with propane, hair spray, lighter fluid, etc. You catch my drift.
Maryland wants the same kind of great gun laws that they got in Chicago. The governor pushed thru the assault weapon ban, magazine restrictions, and next he will outlaw gun ownership, like they got. Then everyone in Maryland will be as safe as they are in Chicago!!! Salisbury will be so safe, you will be able to walk the streets at night, without fear!
Amen to that. Couldn't say it any better. Where is MSM reporting about this? Oh, I forgot, it doesn't fit Their Agenda. Folks, there are 2 choices in these situations - You can be prepared to defend yourself and your loved ones or you can hide in the darkest corner with cell phone in your hand calling 1-800 OBAMA.
Chicago is a great place to live if you're in need of an organ donor.Hopefully the necessary organ won't look like Swiss cheese.
