A child is killed, and an anguished school president wants to know why

Antonio Davis would have been a freshman at Leo High School in Chicago

From The Chicago Sun-Times: Antonio Davis, 14, who would have been a freshman at Leo High School in Chicago, was shot to death last week as he walked to a grocery store on the city's South Side.

"Why?" asks the school's president, Dan McGrath. "Antonio was 14 and he looked 12. It's inconceivable that he could be involved in anything wicked enough to provoke such mindless violence, or even be mistaken for a street thug. He was a child."
