BREAKING: The accused gunman in a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in suburban Chicago is now charged with murder in the incident that left seven people dead and dozens of others injured.
The shooting happened at 10:14 a.m. CT in the area of Central Avenue and 2nd Street in downtown Highland Park during the city's Fourth of July parade, authorities said.
Larry Bloom, who was in the area when shots began, said at first spectators thought the"popping" sound was part of the parade. "I was screaming and people were screaming," Bloom said."They were panicking and they were just scattering and I, you know, we didn't know. You know, it was right on top of us.""The bodies that I saw, it was not an image that anyone who's not a physician would have an easy time processing," said Dr. Baum.Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker asked for prayers for the families of the deceased and for those who were injured in the shooting.
Video appears to show the moment the person of interest connected to the mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park was arrested Monday evening.
