Najmanje pet osoba je poginulo, a 16 je ranjeno u pucnjavi tokom proslave Dana nezavisnosti u Hajlend parku u predgrađu Čikaga, saopštili su gradski zvaničnici..
Pucnji su se čuli samo desetak minuta nakon što je parada povodom 4. jula, Dana nezavisnosti, počela, prenose američki mejnstrim mediji.
Policija traga za napadačem. A očevici kažu da je možda pucano sa vrha neke od visokih zgrada.
“Veliki broj policajaca je obezbedio perimetar oko centra Hajlend parka”, navodi se u saopštenju gradskih vlasti. Mole stanovnike da izbegavaju centar grada.
SAD su u u poslednje vreme potresle pucnjave u kojima je stradalo mnogo ljudi. Žrtve se broje kao na frontu: u Bafalu je ubijeno 10 osoba, u napadu u Teksasu 19 dece i dvoje nastavnika, u pucnjavi u bolnici u Oklahomi četiri osobe.
