'A year unlike any other': Six months later, HighlandPark shooting victims continue to deal with grief, anger and pain
From an 8-year-old boy to an 88-year-old grandfather, the July 4 Highland Park parade shooting showed no mercy.
"I wasn't knocked out, but I was on the ground and trying to get up," she said."And then there was unbearable, sharp, burning pain." "It felt like forever, but it was only about four minutes," Turnipseed said."I thought I was going to die there surrounded by bodies." Because of the damage caused by the bullet entering her pelvis, she's been told by doctors she can't carry another baby. She and Ian had Sonia through IVF, and Liz was scheduled to have another frozen embryo transferred on July 12.
'Am I dying?' Shortly after 10 a.m. when the shooting began, Lauren Bennet, 41, was hit in the hip and then in the back as she dove into nearby bushes. "I have young, active boys, so I need to be able to ride my bike alongside them to school, and play with them, and run around with them," she said."I always pay for it that night and the next day, but I can't give that up. I need to be their mom."
"If I can help make other people safe, other families and other children, I will fight that fight until the end." Cooper was at the parade with his twin brother, Luke, his mother and his father, Jason. Keely Roberts required multiple surgeries after being shot in the leg and foot. Luke was hit by shrapnel.
The family is embarking on a project to find or build an adaptive home where Cooper can access every room, a home that can accommodate his physical therapy needs."Our entire family has a long road of healing and recovery ahead," Keely Roberts said."But we will face each day with bravery, hope, love and a belief in the best in people."
"It was awful," Jon Straus said."The worst day of my life. I never imagined this would happen to us, but people should stop imagining it can't happen to them because, unfortunately, that's the world we live in."
