Highland Park police officers and firefighters were participating in the 2022 July 4th parade when they found themselves under fire and in demand to respond to a mass shooting.
"I was actually in the parade, it's a tradition in our fire department most guys bring their families," said Fire Chief Joe Schrage.
"It's heartbreaking to run past people who are looking for help, they look to you, they see you in uniform," he said. "I noticed one of our police officers suddenly cocked his head and listened to his radio, did it again threw his water bottle down and started running downtown," he recalled."We were dispatched at 10:15, by the end of 10:15, we were there, less than 60 seconds we were on the scene," he said.
