Another "Child Gun Death"

I guess if you want to build a case for "child gun deaths, it helps to leave out the convenient fact that he was committing an armed robbery and a citizen defended himself...

The Chicago Tribune version [Use BugMeNot to bypass site registration]:

A 15-year-old boy died Thursday after being found with gunshot wounds to the stomach in a field in Hazel Crest, police said.

Daily Southtown version:

Detectives are searching for a teenage gunman after a botched robbery left his accomplice dead and a third man fighting for his life in hospital.

You may speculate that the Tribune story was not intentionally slanted, and merely reflected facts known at the time. If that's the case, one would expect a story update, which a site search reveals has not yet happened at the time of this posting, two days after the Southtown story was printed.
