It's been a month since a gunman opened fire at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, killing seven people and injuring over 30 more. The shooting scarred a community that was simply celebrating America’s independence, two years after the COVID-19 pandemic put their annual parade on hold.
The 21st was joined by Illinois State Rep. Deb Conroy and the North Shore Editor for Patch, Jonah Meadows to discuss more about efforts being taken to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again.
