Mother of Highland Park parade shooting victim shares family's recovery
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — The mother of the youngest victim in the Highland Park Fourth of July Parade shooting in 2022 provided an update on her family's recovery on Wednesday, one day before the event is scheduled to return. Cooper Roberts, now 10, was paralyzed from the waist down after his spinal cord was severed when he was shot. His twin brother, Luke, was injured by shrapnel.
She also discussed how the shooting affected family members who weren't injured and how they were working together to deal with the trauma. The outpouring of support for her family has been more than she ever imagined. 'For as damaging and hurtful that this dark evil did to our lives. It is balanced. Even overweighed by the goodness and the light and the love.'Keely said it was difficult last week when the accused shooter was expected to change his plea to guilty but didn't.
