A University of Chicago student called out Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday for her "blatant lie" regarding violent crime in the city just days after a fellow classmate was shot and killed by a stray bullet while commuting home from an internship. "Lori Lightfoot had the nerve recently to say that crime in Chicago is on the decline—that’s a blatant lie," said Audrey Unverferth during an appearance on "Fox & Friends." CHICAGO UNIVERSITY STUDENT DIES AFTER HIT BY STRAY BULLET WHILE RIDING TRAIN HOME FROM INTERNSHIPUnverferth characterized the meeting as an opportunity for a photo-op and an example of more "empty platitudes" from the Chicago mayor. Max Lewis, 20, was commuting on the city's Green Line during rush hour on July 1 from his internship at an investment firm in downtown Chicago, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Despite not knowing Lewis personally, Unverferth said all her fellow classmates were "devastated" by his "senseless" death.
