DailyKenn.com — 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams was fatally shot while waiting in a McDonald's restaurant drive-through in Chicago.
18-year-old Marion Lewis has been arrested. Police are searching for other suspects.
Reports say the girl died in a hail of bullets apparently intended for her father who was injured in the assault.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot reacted with cut-and-paste rhetoric tacitly blaming guns by saying "epidemic of gun violence cutting our children's lives short cannot go on," [abcnew.co.com].
The incident occurred in broad daylight on April 18, 2021. Lewis was arrested April 25, 2021.

• Guns don't kill people anymore than McDonald's drive-through restaurants kill people.

The suspect, Marion Lewis, who was under surveillance by police in a western suburb of Chicago, was arrested on Thursday after he was allegedly involved in a car chase that ended with a crash on a freeway and a shootout with police that left him wounded, according to Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown.
Lewis, who was later announced as a suspect in the McDonald's shooting, is just one of several suspects in the killing of Jaslyn, who was shot in broad daylight a week ago today on Chicago's West Side, Brown said.
"You can run but you can't hide," Brown said at a news conference Saturday of the other suspects wanted in the killing of the little girl. "We are going to bring you to justice for this crime. The Adams family deserves nothing less."
