Federal and state law enforcement officials are conducting a full-scale manhunt for the mass shooter who killed at least six people and wounded 24 others at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
“No indication he’s barricaded anywhere or has any hostages,” said Lake County Illinois Sherriff’s Deputy Chris Covelli. “Investigators are very, very quickly working to identify who this person is and figure out where he’s at.”
The violence and bloodshed erupted shortly after the festivities began with a lone gunman firing from the roof of a building along the parade route.
