Lake County Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli said the gunman apparently opened fire from a rooftop. A rifle was recovered at the scene, but the suspect should still be considered armed and dangerous, Covelli said.

  1. Why would anyone in their right mind go to a public event in 2022 gun clingy America??…what, would you go marching down the street playing a tuba in Mariupol or Donbas??

    1. @Mario Cort The people that live in the United States of America are known as Americans. The word America is used to describe the USA as a whole. When you talk about America you are not describing the continent of North America but the USA specifically. When describing someone or something from the USA you would use the word American.

      The more you know….

    2. “Thoughts and prayers” hurrr Durrr hurrr Durrr

      Maybe you could tell us why/how this shooter hot away and with such a high kill count? Heh!

      I mean… USATODAY keeps telling everyone they don’t need guns and police will protect them. Newsflash the police were at this event as it all happened. Supp!

  2. You’ve got to be kidding me. 🤦🏻‍♀️Seriously, the use of guns are getting out of control.

  3. Whats 4th of July without gun shots? Right fellas? Its the American way. Happy 4th… America… smh

  4. What’s this world 🌎 coming to? How many more must die, until the gun lobby wakes up? This is deployable!!

  5. “Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”

    (1 Samuel 15:3)

  6. God bless America? 🙄
    Independence Day? Independence from rationality it sometimes seems….

  8. @USATODAY Now would be a good time to give an explanation for how the Illinois shooter got away Scott free unharmed and is now hiding!!

    You tell us all the time the public doesn’t need guns because police will protect them. Well… As you are well aware there were plenty of police at this event, yet like I said he got away with very high body and severe injury counts

    Your audience wants to laugh and cringe once again as you try to explain this all away.

    Show us your magical non sensory logic.
