What happened at the Highland Park shooting?
While the Fourth of July parade was underway, a gunman opened fire on the crowd. He allegedly climbed to the top of the roof and shot at families, including children, who were waving flags and riding bikes, celebrating their Independence Day.
A few hours following the incident, the scene was reportedly turned into a crime scene with police tape spewn across nearby areas. At first, people thought a firework show was commencing, which is a common way of celebrating their Independence Day.
Two hours after the tragic incident at the Highland Park, two Philadelphia police officers were also shot at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, where another parade to celebrate the occasion was taking place.
Sportskeeda sends heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the tragedy.
