Student attends South graduation, five years after bullet nearly ended her life

A little more than five years ago, Guadalupe Galeno-Hernandez was a south Minneapolis 13-year-old fighting for her life after a gangster’s bullet pierced her neck. Now a budding poet who dreams of teaching elementary schoolchildren, on Tuesday night she joined classmates at their high school graduation.

Guadalupe, who will become the first child in her family to finish high school, joined 405 others from Minneapolis South High School for the graduation ceremony at Mariucci Arena.
