As Chicago celebrates a World Series, its residents mourn their own

CHICAGO -- Between World Series Games 4 and 5, two twin brothers hung out on a popular corner in the Old Town neighborhood. Edwin and Edward Bryant liked sports, McDonalds and flirting with girls. They were 17 years old. They were hanging in a group of kids crowded around the brick wall of an apartment building, across Evergreen Street from a parking lot. It was around 3:15 in the morning.

A car drove west down Evergreen, at least one of the passengers holding a gun.

They shot Edward first, in the chest and head, and he fell right where he was shot, by the wrought iron fence, seriously wounded but alive.
