At least 21 people were shot, one of them fatally, at a Juneteenth celebration in gun-controlled Illinois on Sunday morning around 12:30 a.m.
CNN reported the shooting occurred “in a parking lot in Willowbrook, about 21 miles west of Chicago.”
FOX 32 pointed out two of the wounded remain in critical condition.
FOX News noted DuPage County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Eric Swanson indicated that deputies patrolling the area near the parking lot heard the gunshots and responded.
Swanson said, “The motive behind this incident is unclear and this is still an active investigation.”

“As far as I know, that was decided upon as constitutional by the state supreme court, and SCOTUS refused to hear the case.”
Multiple cases have been consolidated in both state and federal court system. The state supreme court has the case now awaiting decision. (Three guesses how that will go.) Federally, at least 2 district courts have diametrically opposed opinions and a lone 7th circuit appeals court judgette refused an injunction so now I believe it is going to an enbanc circuit court. Supreme court justice Barrett refused injunction while lower court proceedings are under way.
In summary, a waiting game with things looking bleak at state level but much, much better at 7th (mostly repub appointees) and excellent at SCOTUS. Stay tuned.
It’s just not a party without gunfire and blood...for some. I can’t wait for the 4th of July and New Years Eve with all the third world imports from south of the border to add into the mix.
And I thought they were celebrating (Lack of) Father’s - Day!!
Nothin like another fake holiday
Juneteenth—the bogus federal holiday created by the demented dictator biden!!!!
Say—wasn’t Adolf Hitler demented at the end?
Lord have Mercy on all of us Americans!!!!
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
