“If it’s already working, why, why take it away?” asked Nathaniel Pendleton, her father. “If that was possible in Chicago, maybe our daughter would still be alive.” Earlier this week, he had told the New York Post that “if crime rates are down in New York, don’t stop what you’re doing. Don’t test the water.”

Cleo Pendleton, Hadiya’s morther, said: “I think that it’s very important to identify the fact that people are dying left and right here in Chicago as it relates to guns, so stop-and-frisk, I believe it will be something that’s encouraging in Chicago to the violent offenders or whatever to not carry weapons, not want to get caught, not want to suffer the consequence of that action.”
