Looking on from left are Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy and Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez. Fifteen-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed Jan. 29, 2013 in a park during a gang dispute she had nothing to do with about a mile from President Barack Obama's Chicago home. Since her death, the number of homicides and other violent crimes that turned Chicago into a national symbol of gun violence have fallen sharply. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)
