CHICAGO, IL - JANUARY 30: Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton (R) is comforted by sister Kimiko Pettis and her nephew Jahlil at a neighborhood park where her daughter Hadiya was killed on January 30, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois. Fifteen-year-old Hadiya was shot and killed when a gunman opened fire in the park yesterday while she was hanging out with friends on the warm rainy afternoon under a shelter in the park. Hadiya was a majorette in her high school band and recently performed in Washington, D.C. during the inauguration. President Obama's Chicago home is less than a mile from the park where Hadiya was killed. Another person was wounded in the leg during the shooting. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
