Mass Shooting At Illinois July 4 Parade

A shooting has been reported during a July 4th parade in Illinois.

On Monday, multiple people are likely dead after a mass shooting at a 4th of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois.

Watch video of parade watchers running once they heard the sounds of gunfire. It took some people a minute to register it.

Witnesses say there were 5 bloodied people lying on the ground after people fled, according to the Chicago Sun Times. There were allegedly 20 shots fired as well.

The suspect is confirmed to be on the loose and k-9 units have called in to find them. The Highland Park Police Department said that the shooting is currently “active.”

“Highland Park Police are responding to an incident in downtown Highland Park,” warned Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering. “Fourth Fest has been canceled. Please avoid downtown Highland Park. More information will be shared as it becomes available.”

The Lake County Sheriff’s Department did also confirm the shooting and told people to stay away.

Witnesses told WGN that the shooter was firing from the roof of a store on Central avenue. He may be barricaded inside the store.

We’re praying for the victims of the shooting and for law enforcement to quickly get the guy that did it. Please say a prayer below.

  DemonCrats are the thugs and they always have been.
  
  99% of all assassinations were done by a demonCrat on a republican president.
  
  70% of all registered voters in prison are democrats.
  
  All of these ON VIDEO displays of demonCrat leaders calling for violence.
  
  Remember when....the democrats would at least act like they weren't evil? They are blatant, don't care now showing their true colors and even the "I see nothing" democrats are finally catching on to what we warned them of years ago.
