Councilwoman Lovell lashes out at HISD for gang killing
I can't find the story online, but last night KPRC-2 highlighted a bizarre outburst by Councilwoman Sue Lovell directed at HISD. She's decided to lay some blame for last week's gang melee and killing at Chew Park on HISD, saying that administrators at Lamar High School should have known there was a gang problem and that something was brewing. (I'm going off memory, but it was along those lines.)
KPRC did include a response from HISD that said the teenager who was killed didn't go to Lamar and the girl who is accused of the killing had only recently started attending the school.
If Councilwoman Lovell wants to constructively address what has become a big problem, she should start here, move on to here, and end up here...
...although lashing out at HISD is easier than taking on MayorWhiteChiefHurtt.

UPDATE: KPRC now has the story posted.
