CHICAGO — Students at a Chicago high school staged a classroom walkout Monday afternoon to protest gun violence just days after a shooting near their campus left two teenagers dead and two others wounded.
Students at Benito Juarez Community Academy in the Pilsen neighborhood on the city's southwest side, left their classrooms and gathered around a makeshift memorial where Friday's shooting occurred. The students called on city leaders to bolster security on their campus and crack down on gangs.
Two other teenagers, a 15-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, were hit by gunfire and are expected to fully recover, according to police. Police released a surveillance image Saturday of a person they believe was involved in the shooting, running away from the scene.
