A year after an Independence Day shooting killed seven and hurt dozens of others in Highland Park, heartbreak still hangs heavy in the community. MORE ⬇️
Residents of Highland Park, Illinois are still shaken one year after a gunman opened deadly fire during the city's annual Fourth of July parade. But this year's event marked the completion of a year-long journey to the end of an Independence Day parade they were never able to finish.
"It is impossible to make sense of the chaos as we look backwards, but what we can do is continue to support each other in ways that build our resilience and work towards a better future by aligning our actions with our values. We have a moral obligation to do so," Rotering said Tuesday morning.Security was tight on Tuesday as therapy dogs and crisis counselors stood by throughout the day for anyone needing support.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, along with Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth joined the community at City Hall, where leaders addressed the victims and survivors in both English and Spanish to honor the city's large Latino population. "We will never forget what happened here, but we, Highland Park, will not be defined by it," Rotering said.
