Hundreds of people joined a March For Peace Saturday from the Magnificent Mile to Millennium park, where a teen was gunned down near the 'Bean.'
CHICAGO -- That deadly shooting at the"Bean" two weeks ago prompted a 10 p.m. curfew for people under 18, which will be in effect over the holiday weekend.

The group hopes to pave the way, hopefully to a solution, to the gun violence seen in Chicago, Buffalo, and most recently, the tragedy that unfolded in Uvalde, Texas.
A coalition of faith leaders called"Hands Across Chicago," walked side-by-side with elected officials for the peace walk.
