"To say that they're my family is the only way to describe it. And so, it's just good to be back and help them," said Officer Nate Maring of the West Chester, Ohio, police department.

One family has endured double the sorrow after a gunman opened fire at an Independence Day parade two weeks ago in Highland Park.

Passions were running high on Capitol Hill Wednesday as hundreds of people, including many from the Chicago area, marched on Washington demanding a nationwide ban on assault weapons.

In Highland Park, the victims of last week's parade shooting were remembered during a city-hosted vigil Wednesday night.

A blood drive held in Highland Park following last week's horrific mass shooting garnered so much interest, appointments were fully booked for the day.

Cooper Roberts, the 8-year-old boy who was left paralyzed after being shot in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade mass shooting, underwent his seventh surgery Tuesday.

“These are combat weapons. These are weapons of war. They should not be on the streets,” said Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
