Today in the news I hear that many a lot of people are being killed. They are not dieing from natural causes. More people have been killed this year more than all last year already. The people that are getting killed are the high school students. About thirty two high school students has been shot or killed in the last six months. On the south side of Chicago Englewood have the most killings and the most violence that any other place in Chicago. On Saturday a student at Simeon got shot coming from Saturday school by some students from another school. Also at Chicago Crane high school there all star basketball player started at gang fight and beat a boy with a baseball bat. Also at Crane high school a student was shot and killed because of gang violence. Around Harper high school his one of the top places were gangs are. There are more gangs in that area than any other place. Last year early in the morning before school it was a shooting on Honroe at a Harper student was looking out the window and a bullet hit her in the head. She died instantly she was a freshman Harper and all her brothers and sisters attended Harper. That government is trying to stop the violence they are trying to find something to do to make the killing stop. Mayor Daley started some things so students can have something to do so they can stay busy.
