The tragic shooting death of 13-year-old Schanna Gayden is just one of the stories that made front page news in Chicago this month.
It's been a month of violent stories, violent storms, and tempestuous politics.
On the last Friday of every month we invite a panel of esteemed journalists into our studio to provide analysis and context on some of the biggest Chicago area stories of the past few weeks.
We call our segment the Month in Review.
And with us for our conversation this morning are Alejandro Escalona of the Spanish language newspaper Hoy, Kimbrielle Kelly of the investigative journal The Chicago Reporter, and Lester Munson of ESPN.
