Peace Bowl

It wouldn't be a "peace bowl" without a fatal shooting...

A young man was shot to death on a street here Sunday as a youth football tournament promoting non-violence was going on several hundred feet away.

The shooting occurred just south of Knott Street and Rockdale Avenue about 2:30 p.m., less than a quarter-mile west of Reading Road.

The violence brought an immediate end to the “Peace Bowl,” an event organized by the Avondale and Evanston community councils and other neighborhood organizations.

Nothing says love like sharing a little lead. Whitey just wouldn't understand.
