I’m telling you, there is no better day and no better time,” Pritzker said.

"Grief will not bring the victims back, and prayers alone will not put a stop to the terror of rampant gun violence in our country," Pritzker said. People fled the scene upon hearing several loud bangs, CBS 2 television of Chicago reported, citing a producer who was at the parade. Local resident Miles Zaremski told the Chicago Sun-Times: "I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. The event was scheduled to include floats, marching bands, and community entertainment as part of the city's Independence Day celebrations. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims during this devastating time," Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering told a news conference. The US Senate last month passed gun safety measures tightening background checks for would-be gun purchasers convicted of domestic violence or significant crimes as juveniles. I also surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter." It was just really traumatising," Garcia said. Police had earlier described the suspect as a white man, aged 18-20, who appeared to have targeted the parade's attendees at random with a high-powered rifle. At least two dozen people were injured in the shooting. Crimo then fled and led officers on a brief pursuit before being stopped in Lake Forest, Illinois. They said he was driving a silver 2010 Honda Fit automobile.

Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. “We don’t blink anymore. “It definitely hits a lot harder when it’s not only your hometown but it’s also right in front of you,” resident Ron Tuazon said as he and a friend returned to the parade route Monday evening to retrieve chairs, blankets and a child’s bike that he and his family abandoned when the shooting began.

The shooting comes barely a week after Joe Biden signed into law a bipartisan gun bill intended to prevent dangerous people from accessing firearms. One video shows Crimo sitting in a classroom and then reaching inside his backpack before the screen goes black. At least six people who were killed were adults, Covelli said. Covelli said that, as of Tuesday afternoon, investigators had not found evidence that the victims were targeted because of their race, religion or some other federally protected status, which would dictate whether or not authorities treated the mass shooting as a possible hate crime. By Tuesday afternoon, a seventh victim who had been taken to hospital following the shooting had died, though additional details about that person weren’t immediately available, Covelli confirmed to the Guardian. Police officers equipped with rifles and body armor arrested Crimo after they pulled his car over after he blended in with the panicked parade crowd and fled about five miles north of the mass shooting scene on Monday. Authorities hours earlier had released his photo and an image of his silver Honda Fit.
