Mass Shootings

Cooper Roberts, the young boy paralyzed from the waist down in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade shooting, has finally returned home after multiple surgeries and weeks of rehab.

A fundraiser is being held next month to support one of the youngest victims of the Highland Park Fourth of July parade shooting.

“If you want to impress us, move into Washington Park. He’s a farmer — pitch a tent. Washington Park is one of the 17 most violent communities — pitch a tent, move here, live in one of these communities that are facing this level of violence.”

First responders in Highland Park will be celebrated Monday night.

In the past two nights, FOX 32 Chicago has gone over what happens when a threat comes into a school, who handles it and where it goes. But what if the threat is real and becomes a reality?

With the new school year just starting, FOX 32 Chicago is beginning a series of Special Reports looking at how school threats are handled locally.

Musicians who had to hide under bleachers during the Highland Park Fourth of July parade attack will perform this weekend.
