A young man suspected of shooting dead six people and wounding dozens more with a high-powered rifle from a rooftop at a Fourth of July parade in the wealthy Chicago suburb of Highland Park has been detained.
Children waving US flags, riding tricycles or enjoying a ride in a wagon pulled by adults froze as people in the crowd screamed while gun shots rang out, video on social media showed. Covelli said the shooting took place from the rooftop of a business that the gunman reached via an unsecured alley ladder attached to the building.
“I was very terrified. I hid with my daughter actually in a little store. It just makes me feel like we’re not safe anymore.” A 36-year-old native of Highland Park who wanted to be identified only as Sara, told Reuters she had attended the annual parade most years since childhood.
