FILE - In this April 10, 2013 file photo, first lady Michelle Obama speaks at a luncheon in Chicago about the death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton who was shot and killed Jan. 29, 2013 in a park during a gang dispute she had nothing to do with about a mile from the first family's Chicago home. The low point so far in Chicago’s closely watched battle with street gangs may have been the day Feb. 9, 2013, when the first lady came home for Hadiya's funeral. Since Pendleton's death, the number of homicides and other violent crimes that turned Chicago into a national symbol of gun violence have fallen sharply after the city and police changed strategies.
