HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — A business district that had been blocked since a July 4 parade mass shooting that left seven people dead reopened Sunday morning in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
The 2-block by 3-block area consists largely of small shops and restaurants. It had been blocked off with crime scene tape, barricades and uniformed officers since Monday as the FBI and other law enforcement agencies processed evidence.
The street was generally quiet shortly after police removed the barricades, except for news media vehicles, a few other vehicles and people walking.
“We came out at 5:30 this morning.
