Blair Holt's father, a Chicago police officer, has dedicated himself to curbing gun violence against minors in Chicago — where 33 other students were killed in the same year as his son.

A little research would probably find a significant majority of these "students" to be thugs, perhaps carrying an illegal gun themselves, who were killed by competing thugs in the course of their thug activities.

The emotive word "students" is used precisely because it implies they were all innocent children, students killed by guns rampaging out of control.

I’ll bet Mr Holt takes his gun home with him when his shift is over.
