NBC Chicago – The death of 7-year-old Heaven Sutton shocked and angered more than just her family. Mayor Rahm Emanuel was more than angry at the tragedy. He was downright outraged.

The child was fatally shot in the back Wednesday evening while selling candy with her mother in the front yard of their North Austin home.
