Quote
Miles Zaremski, a Highland Park resident, told the Sun-Times: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun.”

Zaremski said that after the shots at Central Avenue around Second Avenue in downtown Highland Park, he saw “people in that area that got shot,” including “a woman covered with blood . . . She did not survive.”

Witnesses say the shooter was on the roof of Uncle Dan’s and fired into parade.  5 or 6 shots, then a pause, then 5 or 6 more shots.  The shooter is still at large and North Shore residents are being asked to stay inside.  #highlandpark @WGNNews

That is a well to do area outside of Chicago, so I'm guessing white guy with an AR maybe even an 80% lower.

Agenda-Free TV kept emphasizing "wealthy area" over and over again.
Agenda-Free should be quotes since the guy can be a full on agenda leftest from time to time but if you can ignore that he's good for raw info.
Sometimes people push the right buttons in chat and he has had on screen meltdowns and his inner leftest comes out.  :rofl:

Still looking for the guy

The gunman, who has not yet been identified, was described by Highland Park police as a white man between 18 and 20 years old with a small build and "longer" black hair. He is wearing a white or blue T-shirt, according to Highland Park Police Cmmd. Chris O'Neill.

Reading he left the weapon behind. 25-30 rapid shots.

I wish all these people would just off themselves and leave everyone else alone.

Left it behind? How convenient. Knee-jerk first thought on that is some lefty sicko trying for a frame-up of conservatives, scary black rifles, and "high capacity" mags.

Probably so he could blend in with the running crowd.

Yeah, I know. That's logical analysis, but what with all the sociopolitical chaos right now, the tin foil is pulled a bit tight.

After deadly parade shooting, David Hogg’s buddy asks if anyone’s seen Kyle Rittenhouse recently

Saw people blaming Rittenhouse in chats. You would think they're trolling but you got to wonder some days

I had to go find my tin foil when I made my first post. I spent a lot of time in the Chicago area, grew up in fly over land and have been to the south many times. The most racist people I ever meet are in Chicago.

A lot of those may have been self transport. It could be anything from anxiety attack, scraped knees from falling down to much more serious. Usually most, if not all, of the self transporters are treated and released.

eta: It is also a lot harder to get compensated by the state or other methods if you don't show some type of immediate injury, says the cynical me.

What I thought but it says "gunshot victims "
Could be a reporter being a "reporter"

I read that also, it does seem odd. It could also be something like scratches or minor wounds from shrapnel or pieces of concrete, etc hitting them. We will never know for sure, that I am sure of.

There is a photo out there of the AR mounted on a tripod up on a roof. Just from a casual look at it it appears to be a spendy looking set up.

Highland Park is northside, very Jewish. It wouldn't surprise me if this gets spun as a hate crime.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Law enforcement sources said they recovered an AR-15 and that he may have at least three other firearms in his possession Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call authorities.
