Portraits of the dead are beginning to emerge as investigators search for evidence in the July 4 shooting that killed at least seven and wounded 30 in Highland Park, an affluent suburb on Chicago’s north shore.
Another was a beloved grandfather and father of eight who went to the parade for a “fun family day,” as his granddaughter put it.
The dead included Jacki Sundheim, 63, a lifelong congregant and “beloved” staff member at nearby North Shore Congregation Israel, where she had worked for decades, the synagogue said on its website. Early in her career, she taught at the Reform synagogue’s Gates of Learning Preschool and later coordinated events and bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies.“Jacki’s work, kindness and warmth touched us all,” synagogue leaders wrote in a message on the website.
