First lady Michelle Obama will travel to Chicago this weekend to attend the funeral of slain teen Hadiya Pendleton, the 15-year-old girl who performed in the Inaugural Parade just days before she was gunned down.
According to a White House official, who spoke on the condition on anonymity because the information had not yet been made public, the first lady would travel with senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, both native Chicagoans to the funeral set to take place Sunday.
