Mass Shootings

The parents of a little boy who was found alone after a mass shooting at the Highland Park Independence Day parade were identified as two of the victims killed after a gunman opened fire on the crowd.

In announcing charges against Robert Crimo III, Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart called Monday's mass parade shooting "a premeditated and calculated attack" and promised to pursue the maximum possible sentence under Illinois law.

"There's a lot of healing that's gonna have to happen that's both physical and emotional. There's no question this experience is something that is gonna linger in terms of the trauma," Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday night during her visit to Highland Park.

The gunman who allegedly opened fire at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park Monday has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder.

Lake County authorities are searching for a female witness who may have seen the Highland Park shooting suspect drop an object inside of a red blanket immediately following the attack at the Independence Day parade Monday.

A man who looks like Robert E. Crimo III entered the Chabad synagogue during Passover in April, according to Michael Masters, chief executive officer of Secure Community Network.

Chicago preschool teacher Zoe Kolpack was at the parade with her two young children, husband Stephen, her father Mike and brother-in-law Nick when the shots rang out as a rooftop gunman fired into the crowds of spectators, leaving seven dead and at least 30 more wounded.

Law enforcement officials revealed more details Tuesday about the suspected gunman in the Highland Park parade shooting that left seven people dead and over 30 others wounded.

"The first thing was, save the kids. Grab the kids."
