WATCH LIVE: Officials give update on deadly HighlandPark parade shooting investigation
Officials identified six of the people killed in the Highland Park parade shooting on the 4th of July. A seventh person died Tuesday and has not yet been named.
In 2013, Highland Park officials approved a ban on semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines. A local doctor and the Illinois State Rifle Association quickly challenged the liberal suburb's stance. The legal fight ended at the U.S. Supreme Court's doorstep in 2015 when justices declined to hear the case and let the suburb's restrictions remain in place.
The state has a so-called red flag law designed to stop dangerous people before they kill, but it requires family members, relatives, roommates or police to ask a judge to order guns seized.
