Huh) Highland Park, Illinois, celebrated July 4th in somber remembrance, one year after seven people were killed in a mass shooting during the previous running of the city’s parade.
The community gathered in a ceremony to remember the seven people killed and dozens injured, and to “reclaim” the Independence Day parade route from the tragedy.
“This morning, we remember those who were murdered and those whose lives were forever altered. Our hearts will always ache for the families and friends who were left behind to grapple with the pain of their loss,” Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering said at the ceremony.

Both of Illinois’ senators and Gov. JB Pritzker (D) were in attendance.

Problem is:
It’s not OUR guns,
It’s YOUR sons.
Reform the guns so they don’t shoot people 🤪
