Teen Girl Who Performed At Obama’s Inauguration Shot Dead In Chicago!

A 15-year-old girl who performed at President Obama's inauguration last week was shot dead Tuesday while hanging out with friends in bullet-scarred Chicago.

Hadiya Pendleton was standing under a canopy in Vivian Gordon Harsh Park when a gunman ran down an alley, opened fire at the group and fled in a white car, police said.

Pendleton was shot in the back but managed to run about a block before she collapsed, officer Laura Kubiak said. She died at the hospital.

Police said Pendleton, who had no criminal record, was probably not the intended target.

Until her death, Hadiya was a majorette with the King College Prep High School band, which performed at several inaugural events.
