Mayor Lori Lightfoot choked back tears Thursday as she discussed the video footage of a Chicago police officer fatally shooting 13-year-old Adam Toledo in a Little Village alley two weeks ago.

She also bemoaned the nation’s gun laws and the city’s endemic gun violence.

“The tragedy of this pandemic unfortunately continues but there’s hope at the end of this long journey,” Lightfoot said in a statement. “This path to 50% capacity ensures that we move forward with hope and confidence but also with the necessary precautions in place to ensure that the rush to reopen doesn’t endanger our progress.”
