A day of celebration quickly turned into a day of tragedy when multiple news outlets reported that a mass shooting, leaving 6 dead and 30 injured, had taken place in Highland Park, Illinois - a suburb just outside of Chicago.
A gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday, killing at least six people, wounding at least 30 and sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror, police said.
