'Total cowardice': 2 Chicago mothers killed in drive-by shooting while taking a stand against gun violence:
Grant and Stoudemire were members of Mothers Against Senseless Killings
(MASK), a group that was formed in 2015 after three women were shot, one
fatally, near the same street corner in the Englewood neighborhood,
members of the group said.
"For mothers to be killed in a place where mothers go to seek safety and
sisterhood, I take that as a personal threat," said Tamar Manasseh, 41,
founder of the group. "Because when you come for one of us, you better
believe they came for all of us."
Grant and Stoudemire were out helping to patrol the neighborhood Friday
when just before 10 p.m., a blue SUV pulled up and someone inside opened
fire, killing the women and leaving two men injured, including one
whose arm was grazed by a bullet, Bown said. Police recovered multiple
shell casings from the scene, she said.
