A rifle was recovered at the scene, but the suspect should still be considered armed and dangerous, Covelli said.
Lake County Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli said the gunman apparently opened fire from a rooftop. “On a day when we came together to celebrate community and freedom, we are instead mourning the tragic loss of life.” “Our community was terrorized by an act of violence that has shaken us to our core,” Mayor Nancy Rotering said at a news conference. Video from the scene shows scores of people running for cover as music continues to play minutes after the event began at 10 a.m. The shooter – described as a white male with dark hair, 18 to 20 years old – was still at large, and residents were warned to shelter in place. Reports indicate at least five people were killed and 19 injured in the mass shooting. © Jim Vondruska, Getty ImagesFirst responders work the scene of a shooting at a Fourth of July parade on Jin Highland Park, Illinois.
