Jaslyn's father was also shot but is expected to survive.
CHICAGO (CBS) — She was shot in a McDonald’s drive-thru at Roosevelt Road and Kedzie Avenue. Jaslyn’s father was also shot but is expected to survive. She is the third child killed by gun violence in Chicago so far this year. Jaslyn, known as “Pinky” by her family, was also one of at least six children in Chicago shot in the last seven weeks. It’s a trend local organizations are trying to reverse.
“It still don’t even seem real,” said Rayanna Thomas, Jaslyn’s stepmother. “This was a baby. There’s like no words for it.”
