On Wednesday, one student was killed and two others were wounded in a broad-daylight shooting in the Edgewater neighborhood on Chicago's North Side, near Senn High School. The incident, reported by CWBChicago and confirmed by Mayor's office, has prompted Chicago police to increase their presence around the school. This shooting is part of a disturbing trend in the city, as it marks the second fatal shooting outside a Chicago high school in less than a week. Mayor Brandon Johnson supports removing police from schools to address the root causes of violence and harm, despite the recent shootings. There are calls for violence prevention workers to be brought into schools, even those with criminal backgrounds, as a potential solution to the ongoing crisis. Concerned parents and city officials are seeking solutions after the second shooting outside a Chicago high school within a week. Data analysis shows that nearly eight people are shot each day in Chicago, and in the last five years, more than 100 of them have been kids and teens within one-tenth of a mile of a school. After three deadly shootings near Chicago schools, questions arise about what will be done to protect communities. According to @k12ssdb, there were 27 school shootings in January, highlighting the traumatic impact of gun violence in educational settings.
According to @k12ssdb, there were 27 school shootings in January. Gun violence is traumatic wherever it occurs, especially so at schools where kids are supposed to feel safe. We need to do more to keep kids safe at school. https://t.co/kYQPblAzap

We can't go on like this. How numb has our society become to everyday violence? This shooting is the second fatal shooting outside a school in Chicago in less than a week. No family should have to endure this pain. We must act to end the easy access to all deadly firearms. https://t.co/dagdIN3jKb
