18-year-old Janey Mcfarlane was killed the same day when her sister sat on stage behind President Barack Obama, as he gave a speech on pushing gun control legislation.

Mcfarlane was shot in the head once around 11.30pm Friday in North Chicago. The 18-year-old, who was also a mother of a 3-month-old boy, was in a suburb of Chicago visiting friends and family.

North Chicago police said two people are being questioned in connection with Mcfarlane’s death, but no charges have been filed. Her mother, Angela Blakely cried out,”I really feel like somebody cut a part of my heart out”.

Just hours earlier, Mcfarlane’s older sister was only a few feet from Obama at Hyde Park Career Academy, where the President spoke about gun violence and paid tribute to Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old honor student who was fatally shot a month ago. Mcfarlane was supposed to graduate from an alternative school in spring, and had plans to study culinary arts.

“I’m just really, truly just trying to process it – knowing that I’m not taking my baby home anymore,” said Blakely. (Source)

Though we’re shocked by this incident, we find it hard to grasp the irony in this tragedy. We wish Janey’s family our condolences.
