DECATUR, Ill. (AP) - A 14-year-old girl from Chicago was fatally shot Sunday outside a graduation party in Decatur, authorities said.
Three more people were injured. The Macon County coroner identified the teenager as T'Earra Moore.
'Å“As the party was concluding about 2 a.m. people were exiting the establishment or already in the parking lot when shots were fired. ... Ms. Moore apparently fled the parking lot where the shooting occurred and collapsed in a back lot of a nearby business," Michael Day said.
Decatur police urged the public to call (217) 424-2734 with any tips.
