“Chaos in Chicago” Shooting, Causes Bloody Stampede, 6 killed. 6 people have been pronounced dead and at least 24 have been hospitalized . Gunfire erupted at a July Parade in A Chicago suburb of Highland Park. Spectators during the parade fled in panic as the gunman opened fire. (Reuters). Person of Interest has been arrested. “Update: Suspect in mass shooting at Independence Day parade near Chicago charged with seven counts of murder.(BBC).
Witness Statements
The local authorities stated, 24 have been injured, and they are still searching for the suspected shooter. Victims of the scene described the shooting as “chaos.” Authorities have stated, “they have put a perimeter in place around the downtown area.” People in the affected area were encouraged to shelter in place.
Another witness, Miles Zaremski, 73, veteran and “Highland Park resident” who was at the parade, stated, he heard what sounded like “gunshots from an automatic rifle.” Witnesses further described the situation as a stampede, and a crowd of bloodied people.
Lisa Schulkin,, another victim, stated, the bloodbath began shortly after the parade started at 10 a.m. “All of a sudden you just heard the gunshots, multiple and quick in a row, and then masses, masses of people running,” she told a local news station, WGN9. “The streets were just filled with people running, kids crying,” she added.
Ms. Schulkin hid under a car with several others until about 10:45, around a whole hour during the shooting. Local news footage showed American flags and red, white and blue tinsel — abandoned in the street. Highland park authorities have stated, “they have found a gun” but no gunman. They are continuing to work with authorities. Democratic Illinois Gov. Pritzker also confirmed that he and his staff are “closely monitoring” the situation.
Political Response
Hours before the shooting Chicago Mayor lorilighfoot tweeted, “Happy Fourth of July, Chicago! Let’s gather today to celebrate and enjoy time with our families as we continue to push for a more just and equal nation, creating a better country for all in the pursuit of a more perfect Union.” The Chicago mayor commented on the shooting shortly after.
Opinion
“The tragedy unfolding in Highland Park is devastating. I have been in contact with Mayor Rotering and have offered our support, and the Chicago Police Department is providing assistance. We grieve with the families of the deceased and injured as well as.” The tweet ended abruptly in a cut off. Chicago’s residents have been yearning for better crime control, and Lori Lightfoot has failed to keep Chicago safe once again. We send our sentiments here at DailyAntiBrainwash, to all those involved in the brutal shooting in Chicago.
It’s insane how Lori Lightfoot has done nothing to address crime. She constantly spews out a defense as to why she’s doing a good job. If you take a look at our other articles on Lori Lightfoot, it portrays the same sentiment.
Lori Lightfoot’s halfhearted response to the shooting in Chicago is not enough. The Chicago Mayor is Bonkers. Citizens who have worked hard to earn a living, home, and business in Chicago, now have to flee.
No doubt she will take the Gun control stance to secure her seat in the election. Do not be surprised if Lori Lightfoot, uses this shooting to her advantage, I mean all the she creates is crime, is it possible for her to twist into a narrative that supports her re-election?
Don’t be fooled, this shooting is not the result of gun rights. This chaos is the result of divided politics, failed public systems, and lack of proper support to society. I don’t mean to blame a certain party but, honestly, the democrats always seem to be doing things wrong. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Lori Lightfoot, these are just a few from the Democratic Party which I like to call the “league of evil.”
I’m not saying there isn’t corruption or failed work done on both sides, but, jeez, I think democrats specialize in failing and doing things just plain wrong.
As stated, don’t let Lori Lightfoot or any of the mentioned members from the “league of evil,” twist tragedy into something they can use to get re-elected. They need to be held RESPONSIBLE.
This is a developing story. Check back soon for updates.
