After the Highland¹ Park shooting, the focus shifts to the victims and their families

Transcript²

Officials are providing identifications and offering a clearer picture of the seven people who died when a shooter opened fire on a July Fourth parade in Highland Park, Ill.

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

We're learning about those who were killed at a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Ill. - a synagogue teacher, a businessman visiting from Mexico, and a couple whose 2-year-old was found wandering the street alone after the toddler's parents were fired on from the rooftop above them. Little Aiden McCarthy was later returned to family members by police who responded to the chaotic³ aftermath. During a press conference yesterday, Mayor Nancy Rotering tried to shift public attention from the suspected gunman to the seven individuals who were killed.
