Chilling video shows hundreds fleeing Highland Park July 4 parade after gunfire erupted with 6 killed and 24 hurt

A FOURTH of July parade had a tragic twist after an unidentified gunman opened fire, killing six people and injuring over 20 others.

A video posted to TikTok shows chaos erupting at the scene in Highland Park Illinois.

The video shows what appears to be a school marching band walking down the parade route with bystanders looking on, as someone yells “Gunshots.”

The band members and onlookers all began running.

“Oh my god, there's gunshots,” the young boy recording yelled.

“I can’t believe I have to record this.”

All of the decedents were adults, the coroner said.

Five died at the scene, and another died at the hospital.

At least 24 people were treated at medical facilities, others went to hospitals themselves.

At least one child is critically injured, said police. The status of that child is still unknown.

General injuries ranged from critical to serious, with gunshot wounds to the chest, abdomen and other body parts.

Police say they were able to quickly get to the victims and several bystanders helped apply medical aid.

Sirens were heard as frightened parade-goers appeared to enter a parking lot.

The suspect is still at large and he is believed to be armed and dangerous.
