A Chicago teen was arrested this week on a murder charge, more than a year after he allegedly killed a 15-year-old boy and wounded a 14-year-old in a shooting outside a Hyde Park gas station.
These tragedies were met with initial shock and grief, and drew television cameras and news headlines. But the trauma lingered in the days, weeks and months that followed, altering habits, moods and relationships and leaving schools across the city reeling.
