Chicago police said a 15-year-old boy was wounded in a shooting near Volta Elementary School in Albany Park Wednesday night.
What started as a rural, suburban community soon became a vibrant city neighborhood swelling with newly arrived immigrants and working-class families.
Students and parents of Volta Elementary marched after school Friday asking for peace, safety and investment into their school’s playground in the wake of a shooting next to the school last week on the city’s Northwest Side.
The girl was walking in the 4900 block of North Harding Avenue the morning of Feb. 1 when two males approached and started shooting in her direction, according to police. The girl was hit in the shoulder as she fled.
