OMG, I can't imagine.

CNN has camera ready, noting LE will have another press conference soon. During the last one, they said they may be able to share a few more details at this one.

Press Release: City of Evanston Cancels 4th of July Parade and Celebrations

CITY OF EVANSTON CANCELS 4TH OF JULY PARADE AND CELEBRATIONS​

EVANSTON, IL - Due to a tragic mass shooting that took place earlier this morning in Highland Park, the City of Evanston will be canceling this year’s 4th of July Parade and celebrations effective immediately.

While there is no known threat to Evanston residents, the shooter is still at large; therefore, cancelations are taking place in an abundance of caution.
 
I'm in the Chicago suburbs, about 30 minutes from Highland Park - have been there many times. Very affluent suburb, typically quiet and peaceful. 4th of July, tons of families just trying to celebrate and be happy - this is a shame. This is not a "typical" "Chicago" shooting - FWIW, MOO, the alleged is a very young white male with an alleged automatic weapon. Most of the gun violence in Chicago is specific to certain areas (not all, but most. . . . ) for this to happen in a suburb of this nature is most alarming.

Again, my opinion only, but it's horrific for it to happen anywhere! I'm so angry - and we continue to do nothing in this country to stop it!

MOO

A Lake County police officer walks down Central Avenue in Highland Park on July 4, 2022.

At least 16 people had been shot, officials confirmed. However, an area hospital said it was treating at least 26 people for injuries suffered during the attack; it did not directly say all 26 had suffered gunshot wounds.

Police said the gunman “began randomly shooting parade spectators from a rooftop while the parade was in progress.”

May Mr Toledo Rest In Peace. Sincere condolences to Mr Toledo’s loved ones, I’m so sorry for your loss.

“A heartbroken family has identified their beloved grandfather as one of the six people shot dead at a Fourth of July parade in an affluent Chicago suburb.

Nicholas Toledo was killed Monday when a gunman - who remains at large - opened fire on a parade from the roof of a Highland Park, Illinois outdoor outfitting store.

'We are all feeling pretty numb. We're all pretty broken inside,' Toledo's granddaughter told CBS Chicago reporter Tim McNicholas.”

I really can't imagine this is going to go on for much longer. He left a rifle that will likely allow for it to be traced, so I'd be surprised if they didn't already have a name.

He has to have been caught on camera as well.
