At Least 6 Dead, 24 Wounded In Shooting At Chicago-Area July 4 Parade
Newsy
Police believe there was only one shooter and warned that he should still be considered armed and dangerous.
At least six people died and 24 were wounded in a shooting at a July Fourth parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, and officers are searching for a suspect who likely fired on the festivities from a rooftop, police said Monday.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O'Neill, the incident commander on scene, urged people to shelter in place as authorities search for the suspect, described as a white male wearing a white or blue T-shirt.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference that the suspect apparently opened fire on parade-goers from a rooftop using a rifle that was recovered at the scene. He didn't know which building.
