Witnesses say crowds fled the sound of gunfire, and others saw at least five bloodied people lying on the ground and another under a blanket, according to the Chicago Sun Times.

The number of victims remains unclear.

This is a developing story.

Sounds like a reloading of a ten round magazine.

And getting kill shots from a distance, shooting downward, with people running,is not something you do without some practice.

I check out a red it site for century houses (an interest of mine), and one beautiful house decorated in red, white and blue's poster felt the need to join in with the "I'm not patriotic, but..."

Bad out there

That’s my point. This wasn’t a redneck, white supremacist, shooter. This was someone very skilled, trained and calm. They got in, carrying something high powered, fired a lot of shots, then got back out without getting caught. That takes a great deal of organization, planning and intelligence.

I had so hoped that the recently passed federal gun safety reform legislation, designed to end mass shootings, would work as advertised.

Now I feel the politicians in Washington have misled me and abused my trust in the federal government.

When you can’t trust a popular president and your federal government, who can you trust?

You can hear the fire in some of the initial videos.

Faster than I could cycle a boltie, might get a pump or lever gun to work that fast, but Occam’s razor says semi-auto. Def. not full auto.

Prepare for lots of bad, wrong, and deliberately false information over the next 48 hours.

The police are now saying a white make, 18-20 years of age. Long black hair. That surprises me. Most 18-20 year olds I know would be totally incapable of carrying this off.

Long black hair wouldn’t it be surprising to find out at the end the perp was a woman

Wealthy community, when I was there it had a fairly large Hispanics community. Do not recall any problems with the Hispanics although their presence did bring Hispanic gang members up from Chicago. Most where just blue collar working families. There were some issues but generally it involved Hispanics and North Chicago or Waukegan Blacks. I was there two years ago and it seemed to be about the same. Odd this happened there.

These types of shootings will continue until the Marxists get their way. There has been a definite uptick in mass shootings since Biden took office - not a coincidence.

It would. But then, witness descriptions in such situations are not always accurate. This one is different from most that have occurred in recent years. At this point, the shooter could be anywhere.

I lived most of my life in Chicagoland (I’m now retired in FL, thank goodness) and Highland Park is a very wealthy suburb of Chicago. It’s about 15-20 miles north of the City, near Lake Michigan. Also, majority white liberal elite Dems, a large Jewish population, a lovely suburb, but populated by too many Dem elites who are now getting a taste of the havoc that the Biden Admin has created and allowed to run rampant throughout our country.

I suspect the majority of the residents of Highland Park voted for old Joe.As this was a planned attack by a sniper, it will be interesting to see who the Perp is. Is it an Antifa type, a disgruntled minority stuffed full of lies by the Dems, another mental nut case, or someone who intentionally went there from the City of Chicago or elsewhere to ruin July 4th, knowing this would headline all the news outlets throughout the country to throw shade on the 4th of July and change the narrative from positive to negative on the all day, all night news stations.

Time will tell, but it will redound to more people switching from the Dem Party to the Pub Party, as ultimately most people know that the lawlessness running rampant in the U.S. is because of the Dem Party with corrupt Joe Biden at its head. Let the chips fall where they may.

P.S., I forgot to say it might be a Muzzie as Highland Park has a large Jewish population, however somehow instinctively I don’t think this is the case here

Someone responded to Disclose TV’s post with the shooter’s description; What were their pronouns and someone replied to them; Fed/Feds
