A 22-year-old man has been identified as a person of interest in a mass shooting at the Highland Park Independence Day parade Monday as police say the suspected gunman involved in the incident remains at large.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker asked for prayers for the families of the deceased and for those who were injured in the shooting.
"This is an active incident," the city of Highland Park wrote in a statement."All individuals are advised to shelter in place. Law enforcement agencies are searching for the suspect; evidence of a firearm has been recovered. Numerous law enforcement officers are responding and have secured a perimeter around downtown Highland Park."
Evanston also closed its swimming beaches"following this morning’s tragic shooting event in Highland Park." "You heard like a 'pop, pop, pop,' and I think everybody kinda thought maybe it was a display on one of the floats and then it just opened up," Bloom said.
