Damn. Just...damn. That's all we can say when we read these kinds of stories. On the heels of this weekend's shooting of Eternity Gaddy (who died yesterday morning), 10-year-old Nequiel Fowler was shot dead Monday afternoon outside her home in the 8700 block of South Exchange Avenue. She had bent over to tie the shoe of her blind sister, Valerie, 5, when the bullet struck. Nequiel's mother, Linda Williams, described finding her daughter:

At first I thought both of my daughters were hurt because they both were wearing hair beads...Then I ran out and found Nee-Nee laying on the ground.
