Suburban Chicago mom Keely Roberts counts the days, not years, since a deadly shooting at an Independence Day parade in 2022 injured her and left one of her twin boys paralyzed from the waist down.
This undated photo provided by Jasculca Terman Strategic Communications shows twin brothers Cooper and Luke Roberts playing basketball. Cooper was a victim of the 2022 Fourth of July parade shooting in Highland Park, Ill., and remains paralyzed from the waist down.
“There’s not really going to be closure on this for us. The wound is too big; it’s too deep,” Roberts said. “There’s just nothing healing or restorative or comforting about justice delayed, especially justice delayed in a way that feels cruel.” Roberts was shot in the leg, while her son Cooper — the youngest of the injured victims — was shot in the back, severing his spinal cord. His twin brother was hit by shrapnel.
