An elderly female had called 911 and police arrived at the residence where officers returned fire during the incident, Alexander said. The elderly female sustained non-life threatening injuries. A woman was found dead in the home and a man was found dead outside, Alexander said.
The suspected gunman was described as a white male with dark hair who was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and had a military style rifle handgun near him, police said. It is not yet known the relationship between the victims and the shooter.
I’m pretty certain we all know the relationship between the victims and the shooter. Ex-wife/girlfriend and her parents, her mom and brother, or else her mom and her new boyfriend.

Not mentioned in the article: Highland Park is heavily Jewish. Make of that what you will.

I watched that video of the fireworks animation over the breaking news and thought, “this can’t be real”, so I tried it…

From the CNN article:
The incident marks at least the 308th mass shooting in the US this year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking such incidents. The organization defines a mass shooting as involving four or more people shot, not including the shooter.
So, nearly 2 mass shootings a day?
Freedom!

Interview on the TV with the police chief, who is careful to caution people not to make claims of a mental health issue as it a disservice to those with true mental health concerns. Glad to see that.

Yes, so many of the surrounding suburbs have cancelled their parades and fireworks.
But hey at least we still have the second ammendment, right?

I work in a restaurant about 10 minutes from the shooting that occurred today in Highland Park, Illinois. The shooter has yet to be apprehended. Because of this, I told my boss of 4 years I was not comfortable with coming in for my closing bartending shift until the shooter has been apprehended. My boss is essentially calling me a baby. The restaurant I work for is a chain, and my boss was at the Las Vegas location during the Mandalay Bay shooting. He’s essentially saying because he had to go through that, we now all have to. Gun violence has become so normalized in this country that my boss literally expects me to put my life on the line just to serve some tables. Happy Independence Day everyone…
