UPDATE 2:00 PM EDT 7/4/2022: Six people are dead and 26 are wounded after a Monday morning Fourth of July Parade was shot up by some sick asshole in Highland Park, Illinois, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Police are still calling it an active shooter situation. “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun,” a witness told the Sun-Times. The gunman is still on the loose, and police announced to the people on the scene to leave immediately because “it is not safe to be here.”
Cops describe the shooter as a white male, 18 to 20 years old wearing a blue t-shirt, per CBS Chicago’s Marissa Parra. The terrorist fired upon the parade from a rooftop along the parade route.
