[NYPOST] Six people are dead and at least 24 injured in a mass shooting at a 4th of July parade in the wealthy reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown

suburb of Highland Park on Monday, authorities said.Police said the gunman, who was still on the run hours later, randomly opened fire with a "high-powered rifle" from the roof of a building overlooking the parade route shortly after 10 a.m.
Five adults died at the scene and another gave up the ghost after being rushed to hospital, Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said. The age of that victim wasn’t immediately known.
At least one child was taken to hospital in a critical condition and many others suffered gunshot wounds to their abdomens and limbs, according to police.
Authorities believe the shooter, who was described as a white male with long dark hair and aged between 18 to 20 years, climbed onto the roof via a ladder attached to the building.
The rifle was later recovered from the roof, cops said, adding the shooter was "discreet and difficult to see" when he started killing off the innocent revelers.
One witness told WGN TV that he saw the shooter as the gunfire erupted, saying "he was very military style, methodical in the way he was crouched and shooting."
Other witnesses, including some who initially confused the gunshots for Independence Day fireworks, told the Chicago Sun Times they counted at least 20 shots being fired.
"I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun," local resident Miles Zaremski said.
