A mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade Monday in a wealthy suburb outside Chicago, Illinois, left at least five people dead and 16 wounded, according to the city of Highland Park.

 

The city said police are still searching for the suspect and advised people to shelter in place.
 
The shooting in Highland Park, about 25 miles north of Chicago, caused hundreds of people to flee and triggered a police response of local, state and federal officers.
 
Highland Park said its Independence Day parade has been canceled and advised people to avoid downtown. The Illinois State Police said its troopers were responding to a "reported active shooter" in an assist role, and a spokesperson for FBI Chicago said it has deployed resources to the scene.

Honestly, does anyone expect anything else from the US?  Every day I don't hear about a shooting I am surpassed.  I am not surprised very often.

R.I.P. to all of the victims.

The culture he grew up in has been dehumanized by online virality. Mass shootings were the norm since day 1 of his life. I don't blame him at all - it's twisted but not his fault.

That's probably why the shooter chose today to do it. Surprised no one else has had the same idea

What goes on in your life at such a young that makes you want to do this

That TikTok video clip... absolutely chilling :mazen: it's sick how this is seen as "unsurprising" or "expected" as this point. We're headed into a very disturbing future.

 

RIP to the victims.

Well there’s nothing more American than a mass shooting that should have been preventable, but isn’t.
