Alright y'all, lots of weird info flying around re: this shooting already.
Highland Park is an extremely wealthy north shore Chicago suburb. No gun violence to speak of. It's a heavily Jewish area, but have yet to see any indication of motive here. Verify anything you share.

Some people already trying to pin it on "white supremacists," since it's a largely Jewish neighborhood. Hmm, aren't there a few other ethnic or religious groups who hate the Joooos?  :pondering:

Suspect At Large After ‘Active' Shooting at Illinois Fourth of July Parade


Quote


Sixteen people were shot and at least five people were killed Monday morning in a shooting at Highland Park's Independence Day parade, officials confirmed, urging residents to continue to "shelter in place" as the gunman remains at large.

The shooting happened just after 10 a.m. in downtown Highland Park, according to reports. A large police presence from the state and neighboring suburban Chicago departments was seen along the parade route.

"Highland Park Police are responding to an active shooter incident that occurred in downtown Highland Park during the 4th of July parade," the city of Highland Park wrote in a statement. "This is an active incident. All individuals are advised to shelter in place. Law enforcement agencies are searching for the suspect; evidence of a firearm has been recovered. Numerous law enforcement officers are responding and have secured a perimeter around downtown Highland Park. 16 people have been transferred to the hospital; 5 individuals are confirmed deceased."

Illinois 4th of July parade erupts into chaos after multiple shot: Report
Police are reportedly patrolling the parade area with rifles
By Anders Hagstrom , Tyler O'Neil | Fox News

    Multiple people are feared dead after a reported shooting at a 4th of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, on Monday.

Witnesses say crowds fled the sound of gunfire, and others saw at least five bloodied people lying on the ground and another under a blanket, according to the Chicago Sun Times.

The number of victims remains unclear. Police have reportedly requested a canine unit to assist in finding the suspect. The suspect remains at large.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker stated to WGN that he believes there are at least nine shooting victims. The outlet reported that at least two were killed.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office, where Highland Park is located, confirmed that a shooting had occurred and urged people to stay out of the area. The sheriff's office did not confirm the number of victims, however.

The Highland Park Police Department confirmed they are responding to an "active situation" and will soon release a statement to Fox News Digitial. The sheriff's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox.

Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering urged residents to avoid the downtown area as police respond to the incident.

"Highland Park Police are responding to an incident in downtown Highland Park," she announced on Twitter. "Fourth Fest has been canceled. Please avoid downtown Highland Park. More information will be shared as it becomes available."

Pritzker also confirmed that he and his staff are "closely monitoring" the situation.

Considering the amount of violent anti-U.S. rhetoric that was coming from the left as the result of the Dobbs ruling, this is almost certainly a leftist-inspired shooter.

'Mass chaos': Police respond to shooting at Fourth of July parade in Chicago suburb of Highland Park
John Bacon and Grace Hauck, USA TODAY - 13m ago
 

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. – Gunfire and chaos shattered a Fourth of July parade in this affluent Chicago suburb Monday as onlookers fled in terror amid reports that multiple people had been shot.

Video from the scene appears to show dozens of people running for cover as music continues to play minutes after the event began at 10 a.m. local time.
 
"Police are responding to an incident in downtown Highland Park," the city said in a Facebook post. "Fourth Fest has been canceled."


The city asked residents to avoid the downtown area and said more information would be shared as it becomes available. Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., was at the parade.
