DOWN WITH THE BREAKING NEWS ALERT. WE BEGIN FIRST AND FOUR WITH BREAKING NEWS OUT OF
ILLINOIS, WHERE 1/4 OF JULY
PARADE HAS BEEN MARRED BY A
DEADLY MASS SHOOTING KIMBERLY
GILL IN THE NEWSROOM WITH THE
VERY LATEST ON WHAT WE KNOW
RIGHT NOW, KAREN GOOD AFTERNOON,
SIX PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND
31 OTHERS HOSPITALIZED. WE DON’T
YET HAVE INFORMATION ON THE
VICTIMS. THE GUNFIRE, THOUGH
TAKING PLACE ABOUT THREE
QUARTERS OF THE WAY THROUGH THE
PARADE, AND HIGHLAND PARK,
ILLINOIS, WHICH IS RIGHT OUTSIDE
OF CHICAGO. POLICE ARE
DESCRIBING THIS AS AN ACTIVE
SITUATION AND SAY THE SHOOTING
APPEARS COMPLETELY RANDOM. THE
GUNMAN IS STILL AT LARGE AND HAS
YET TO BE IDENTIFIED. BUT THE
DESCRIPTION THEY’RE GIVING IS A
WHITE MAN BETWEEN 18 AND 20
YEARS OF AGE, WITH BLACK HAIR OR
DARK HAIR AND WEARING A WHITE
TOP. POLICE SAY THE SHOTS CAME
FROM THE ROOFTOP OF A BUILDING.
A RIFLE WAS RECOVERED NEAR THE
SCENE. SEVERAL WITNESSES SAY THE
GUNFIRE DEFINITELY SOUNDS LIKE
IT CAME FROM AN AUTOMATIC WEAPON
. LISTEN TO HOW ONE WOMAN WHO
WAS HIT BY GUNFIRE DESCRIBED THE
CHAOS. I WAS THINKING FIREWORKS.
WOW COOL. SO INSTEAD THEN IT
KEPT GOING AND TURN AROUND. I’M
LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE. THAT’S NOT
FIREWORKS. I SAW THINGS FALLING
OFF OF ROSS’S ROOF LIKE BLACK
THINGS, AND I WAS LIKE, OH, GOD.
THIS IS THESE ARE NOT FIREWORKS,
SO I STARTED FEELING I WAS
GETTING HIT ON MY LEG AND I
DIDN’T KNOW WHAT HE WAS FEELING.
BUT I KNEW I WAS GETTING HIT
EVERYWHERE IN MY LEG. MY BOTTOM
OF MY BODY I GOT I GOT HIM TO
GET DOWN ON THE GROUND, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE IT WAS
HAPPENING NEAR US. WE STILL
GETTING HIT, SO I TOLD HIM RUN
INSIDE. WE’RE GETTING HIT BY
GUNFIRE, SO I TOLD HIM I GOTTA
RUN INSIDE AND WE RAN INSIDE A
GEARHEAD. AND THAT’S WHEN
EVERYBODY WAS RUNNING INSIDE.
AND THEN WE STARTED NOTICING HOW
MANY PEOPLE WERE BLOODY. IT
WASN’T JUST A JOKE. IT WASN’T
JUST LIKE, OH, SOMETHING LIKE A
LITTLE BB GUN OR SOMETHING. IT
WAS INTENSE AND PEOPLE WERE
BLEEDING EVERYWHERE AND
SCREAMING AND CRYING AND IT WAS
JUST SO SAD AND EVERYBODY WAS
LIKE, OH, MY GOD, MY FAMILY
MEMBERS ARE STILL OUT THERE AND
SOME OF THE MEETING HERE AND IT
WAS JUST IT WAS LIKE A DISASTER.
I MEAN, I NEVER WOULD BELIEVE IN
HIGHLAND PARK. I JUST NEVER AND
YOU SEE IT EVERYWHERE ELSE, AND
YOU THINK EVERYBODY IS CRAZY,
AND IT JUST CAN’T HAPPEN HERE,
BUT OBVIOUSLY IT CAN HAPPEN
ANYWHERE. YEAH JUST MASS CHAOS
THERE, AND THAT’S JUST ONE OF
SEVERAL CHILLING ACCOUNTS BEING
GIVEN BY WITNESSES. POLICE SAY
THEY WILL GIVE ANOTHER UPDATE
LATER TODAY. BUT AGAIN, SIX
PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES IN
TWO DOZEN MORE ARE BADLY HURT
ALL BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN TO BE AT
A PARADE ON THE FOURTH OF JULY,
CELEBRATING INDEPENDENCE DAY,
MUCH MORE HEAD COMING UP IN OUR
FIVE AND 66 O’CLOCK NEWSCASTS.
UNTIL THEN, KAREN WILL SEND IT
BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK
YOU, KIM. ALSO FOLLOWING
BREAKING NEWS FROM. CLEMENS ON
THIS FOURTH OF JULY. WE WANT TO
GET RIGHT TO PRIYA MANN. SHE’S
NEAR THE SCENE OF A BARRICADED
SITUATION IN PRE. I UNDERSTAND
THAT THE MAN, THEY’RE ACTUALLY
FIRED SHOTS. AT POLICE. THAT’S
RIGHT, KARYN NOT ONCE BUT TWICE
FIRST SHOOTING AT OFFICERS FROM
HIS GARAGE AND THEN SHOOTING AT
OFFICERS FROM HIS WINDOW. LET ME
GIVE YOU A SENSE. POLICE HAVE
QUITE A LARGE PERIMETER SET UP
HERE. WE’RE ABOUT A HALF A MILE
AWAY. I CAN TELL YOU THAT CONDO
WHERE THE BARRICADED GUNMAN IS
RIGHT NOW. IT’S SORT OF NEAR
THAT CHURCH’S STEEPLE. THIS IS
AT NORTH RIVER AND GRATIOT IN
MOUNT CLEMENS. THIS DISPUTE
STARTED AROUND NINE AROUND NOON
TODAY, A NEIGHBOR CALLING 911
ABOUT ANOTHER NEIGHBOR. THE
FIGHT WAS OVER THEIR DOG, THE
NEIGHBOR TOLD POLICE. THAT IS
THE 64 YEAR OLD MAN HAD A WEAPON
SWAT TEAM CAME OUT HERE. THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT DID AS WELL.
THAT IS WHEN THIS GUNMAN OPENED
FIRE ON POLICE WENT BACK INTO
THE HOME AND THEN FIRED AGAIN AT
THIS POINT. THE SWAT TEAM IS
HERE AS WELL. THE MACOMB COUNTY
SHERIFF’S SWAT TEAM AND
NEGOTIATORS ARE CURRENTLY
TALKING TO THE 64 YEAR OLD MAN
WHO IS KNOWN TO POLICE TAKE A
LISTEN TO WHAT SHERIFF
WICKERSHAM HAD TO SAY JUST A FEW
MOMENTS AGO. AS LONG AS WE’RE
TALKING AND AS LONG AS HE KEEPS
PICKING UP THE PHONE AND
COMMUNICATING, YOU KNOW, THAT’S
OUR BEST THING. WE’VE GOT
NOTHING BUT TIME ON OUR HANDS,
AND IF HE’S WATCHING TV, I JUST
HOPE THAT HE KNOWS WE’RE HERE TO
HELP THEM AND WE WANT TO RESOLVE
THIS. PEACEFULLY WITH THOSE OF
YOU THAT ARE LIVING IN THE MOUNT
DOWNTOWN MOUNT CLEMENS AREA AND
AROUND, PLEASE STAY AWAY. WE
HAVE MOST OF THE ROADS CLOSED
DOWN IN THIS SITUATION. AND
AGAIN WE’RE AT NORTH RIVER AND
GRATIOT IN MOUNT CLEMENS. THE
SHERIFF ALSO TELLS ME THAT THEY
DO HAVE A COMPLETE PHONE LIST
FOR THAT CONDO UNIT NOW, AND
THEY’RE WORKING TO EVACUATE
PEOPLE SAFELY. BUT THAT’S ALSO
WHY THEY HAVE ALSO SET UP THIS
HUGE PERIMETER JUST TRYING TO
KEEP DRIVERS AND FAMILIES AWAY.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND OR LARGE POLICE
