The 4th of July celebrations are canceled because the shooter is at large. A 4th of July parade was the location of a mass shooting. An unknown number of people were hit by gunfire as the parade began. Cell phone videos show the panic among parade goers as they scrambled for safety. A Chicago Sun-Times reporter saw bloodied corpses covered in blankets. A man in the parade counted more than 20 shots. There are unconfirmed reports of gunshots. We don't know if they were killed or injured. People ran for cover and left their strollers and blankets behind. They were confused at first, but realized it was a mass shooting. Police pulled out their guns and equipment as soon as they arrived to look for the shooter. The shooter was not identified at the time of the post. The story is evolving.
