A deadly shooting disrupted July 4 celebrations in Highland Park, Illinois, when an unidentified gunman fatally shot at least six people and wounded 24 others at a parade in the city on Monday. 

In a lengthy statement uploaded on Twitter, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker asked people “to pray for the families who were devastated by the evil unleashed this morning in Highland Park, for those who lost loved ones and for those who were injured.”

“There are no words for the kind of monster that stalks and shoots at a crowd of families with children celebrating a holiday with their community. There are no words for the kind of evil that robs our neighbors of their hopes, their dreams, their future. There are no words I can offer to ease the pain of those they leave behind. Please know that our state mourns with you, that MK and I mourn with you,” he wrote.
