Illinois shooting: Six dead in 4 July parade shooting near Chicago​

Police are still searching for a gunman who shot dead six people at a Fourth of July Independence Day parade near the US city of Chicago, officials say.

The event in the city of Highland Park was suddenly halted shortly after 10:00 local (15:00 GMT), when several shots were heard.

Residents have been urged to stay at home and contact their loved ones to make sure they are safe.
City authorities said 24 people had also been hospitalised.

"We are aggressively looking for the individual responsible for this shooting," Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli told reporters.

Police have described the suspect as a white man, aged 18-20, who is "armed and dangerous" and appeared to have targeted the parade's attendees at random.

The guy looks like a shooter. I know you can’t profile people but sometimes when you know, you know.
