Family members have started to identify some of the victims of the Highland Park parade shooting on July 4, which injured 31 people and killed six.
Police say a suspect began shooting shortly after 10 a.m. Monday, stopping the parade just 10 minutes after it started. Law enforcement said they believe the suspect was firing on the crowd gathered to watch the parade from atop a tall building.
An official with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico said,"Sadly, we have confirmed a person of Mexican nationality killed by gunshot in Highland Park, IL. Our sincere condolences to all those who lost their lives in this attack. There are also two Mexicans injured." Doctors said 25 of the 26 patients came in with gunshot wound injuries. Some of them were minor, others more severe, and several victims were in critical condition, doctors said.
Officials have not yet identified victims who were killed in the shooting, but some family members have begun to do so.
