patients were children.<br />
Temple said 19 of them were treated and<br />
discharged. Others were transferred to<br />
other hospitals, while two patients, in stable<br />
condition, remained at the Highland Park<br />
hospital.<br />
The shooter opened fire around 10:15 a.m.,<br />
when the parade was about three-quarters<br />
through, authorities said.<br />
Highland Park Police Commander Chris<br />
O’Neill, the incident commander on scene,<br />
said the gunman apparently used a “highpowered<br />
rifle” to fire from a spot atop a<br />

fireworks, some of them noting that the<br />
Highland Park shooter was still at large.<br />
Evanston, Deerfield, Skokie, Waukegan and<br />
Glencoe canceled events. The Chicago White<br />
Sox also announced on Twitter that a planned<br />
post-game fireworks show is canceled due to<br />
the shooting.<br />
More than 100 law enforcement officers were<br />
called to the parade scene or dispatched to<br />
