CHICAGO -- Police say a 9-year-old Chicago boy was lured into an alley and killed in apparent gang-related retaliation, reports CBS News' Dean Reynolds.
Tyshawn Lee, a fourth-grader, was shot in the head and back Monday afternoon near his grandmother's house in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood.

The hood grandmothers are less than 45 years old now, born in the late 60’s/early 70’s, and grew up right in the middle of it.
They’re not the “sweet but tough” grey-haired matriarchs that we’d all like to envision.
I read it as the father is 25 and the boy is 9. So the father was 16 when the kid was born.
