Tragedy has struck the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, Illinois today as six people were killed and at least another 24 were injured in what appears to be a random act of violence. This was yet another mass shooting in the United States that has left people across the country stunned and upset.

According to reports, the shooter was on a rooftop where they began to ring off shots. There was a 4th of July parade going on in the neighborhood, and that's the event that was ultimately targeted. Parade-goers immediately began to disperse as the police rushed to the scene. In the end, the shooter was able to escape, and they are still at large.
