Excerpts:
"The family of a 13-year-old boy who was shot and fatally wounded while driving a stolen minivan on the North Side made an impassioned plea Monday for those responsible to surrender."
"The ignition of the 1992 Dodge Caravan had been popped and the engine was running."
"Charles Pittman described his nephew as "a good little kid" but acknowledged he was prone to getting "into mischief.""
"Charles Pittman said his nephew "snuck out of the house and probably was out with one of his friends joy-riding" when he was shot.
"He got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a tragedy. To be shot in the head, it's totally devastating." "
"""We've got to stop the violence before more kids get hurt.""
Hey, HERE's a crazy idea: maybe your kids should stop stealing cars! Sounds like they stole the wrong person's car, and that the owner was real unhappy when they finally caught up to the kid. That, or maybe someone else tried to steal the stolen car...
I know, I know. Noone should suffer death for car theft. But the kid sure wasn't the "good little angel" Charles would have us believe. Anyway, that's one car thief that will never ride again. Maybe his death will help discourage some of his peers.
