In a horrible turn of events, a man was arrested yesterday morning after a fight began at the funeral for Hadiya Pendleton in Chicago. Pendleton, 15, was killed in what police say is a turf war just a week after performing at President Obama's second inauguration.

According to NBC Chicago, the fight started outside of the Greater Harvest Baptist Church just before 9 a.m. as a line of people were waiting to attend the funeral. No injuries were reported, and the service was attended by First Lady Michelle Obama, as well as Valerie Jarrett and Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
