WATCH: Officials provide update after Highland Park July 4 parade shooting

6 dead in mass shooting at Highland Park July 4 parade

At least six people were killed and two dozen others hospitalized in a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, police officials said at a press conference Monday.

The latest: Lake County sheriff’s office deputy chief Christopher Covelli said at the press conference Monday that the suspect was an 18- to 20-year-old white male with long black hair who should be considered "armed and dangerous."

The shooting "appears to be completely" random, Covelli said.
Officials recovered a rifle at the scene, said Covelli, who did not specify if the weapon had a high-capacity magazine.
Information about the victims' ages was not released.

We have a problem. Other countries don't seem to have this problem. Some people choose to run away from the problem, deny it exists, or resist any efforts to keep guns out of the hands of crazy people.

    Personal threats are why ACs are currently partially banned from participating in the site.

    "Until all abuse stops the current situation will continue" - you may have read that somewhere.

      No threat, just a feeling. Why so touchy, janrinok? Can't protect him any more?

      Might be nice to know who this Runaway is, before he climbs the ladder to spray the parade with his penis-substitute. Would have helped today, in Highland Park. Could help in the future in Texarkana.

      I thought it was spamming! Did I miss something? So this is not about apk at all? Why are AC's banned? Is it only because the Green site did it? Color me confused. Oh, and doxxing Runaway, good idea, for pubic safety.

        You should go back and read previous posts:

        Spamming, ad-hominem attacks, abuse, and disruption of the site were all mentioned.

        There is no 'apk'. There is merely someone pretending to be apk.
