It is with deep sadness that we report the death of a Morton East student after a shooting that occurred near 21st St and 59th Ave after dismissal today. We are actively working with the Cicero Police Department as part of the ongoing investigation.

We are aware that there are many reports circulating on social media that are inaccurate. We ask that everyone please refrain from sharing unverified information at this time and rely only on official updates.

HEARTBREAKING: ILLINOIS REPORTS FIRST CHILD FLU DEATH AS “VERY HIGH” ACTIVITY LEVELS CLIMB

Illinois health officials say the flu season is intensifying, with the first pediatric influenza death of the year and respiratory illness activity now at the highest level on state surveillance. Federal and state data show flu-like illness visits and hospitalizations rising sharply, driven largely by a new H3N2 subclade K variant linked to more cases than seen in decades and making this year’s vaccine a less perfect match.

Others think its unprofessional. What are your thoughts?
