A two-year-old has been orphaned after both of his parents were killed during the Fourth of July parade shooting in Chicago
"We took him to safety under tragic circumstances, came together to locate his grandparents, and prayed for the safety of his family.
"He is surrounded by a community of friends and extended family that will embrace him with love, and any means available to ensure he has everything he needs as he grows. A spokesman for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force told a news conference that the suspected shooter, who was arrested late on Monday, used a high-powered rifle "similar to an AR-15'' to spray more than 70 rounds from the top of a commercial building into a crowd that had gathered for the parade in Highland Park.
The suspect legally purchased the high-powered rifle in Illinois within the past year, Mr Covelli said. In all, police said, he purchased five firearms, which were recovered by officers at his father's home.
