Just three weeks removed from the worst day in the town’s history, fresh memories of the July 4parade shooting in suburban Highland Park pressed against the need for the community to find ways to start to move forward.
Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering started Monday’s city council meeting with a somber moment of remembrance of the seven victims who died in the attack, which also injured dozens of others. “I ask that we take a moment of silence to remember and honor these individuals and keep all those who were injured and their families in our thoughts,” she said. “I’ve said it before, and it needs to be repeated: this shooting may have attacked our most basic and collective sense of humanity, but it will not define us.”
Herb Kruse, who teaches art in the community, said that humanity was the message he sought to spread in donating his seven portraits of those who were killed to the city.
