I’ll wait on the details and motive.
Exactly, crime is spreading. This is the left's plan...part of the chaos to destroy. What better way for them to celebrate July 4th than with more crime?

Apparently multiple witnesses have confirmed the shooter was on a rooftop nearby and fired directly into the parade.

Hopefully they can catch the person, even if they have to use cell phone videos like they did with the Boston Bombers.

Reports are coming out that gunman is barricaded in a nearby grocery store and has taken hostages there.

Shooter motive will be interesting. Affluent White - and Jewish - suburb. Anything from random looking for a crowd to anti semitism a possibility.

Just because it's a richer area, doesn't mean crime isn't going to spread and increase there. Look at Buckhead, GA. They are trying to seced from Atlanta because of such high crime.

True, but Buckhead's Chicago equivalent would be Lincoln Park. Highland Park is a separate city some 25 miles from downtown Chicago in another county.

True. We saw Dupage County change dramatically in recent years. I never go into the city anymore. Crime there is now in the Loop and mag mile all thanks to dem neoliberal agenda.

Surrounding towns are canceling parades and fireworks.

Criminals are set free here.
Thanks Democrats!

Not this time. The parade was ambushed by someone firing from a rooftop. This guy is a "kill all many random people as possible " type of mass shooter.

Yeh the roof top. What a pos coward. Can't even get close to kill his victims. Didn't take himself out. Do they want suicide by cop.

RIP victims on a day that's supposed to be a celebration

RIP
