Reflecting on Highland Park Shooting: One Year Later, Lives Honored and Changes Made

Thousands of people gathered in Highland Park, Illinois, for a remembrance ceremony and community walk one year after a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade. The shooting, carried out by a 21-year-old gunman armed with an AR-15-style rifle, killed seven people and injured 48 others. Survivors and victims' families have filed lawsuits against the gunman, his father, the gun manufacturer, the gun store, and an online gun distributor. The event included a remembrance ceremony, a walk to reclaim the parade route, and a community picnic, with more than 5,000 people registered for the day's events.
