New details have emerged describing a scene filled with fear and chaos as a 21-year-old gunman opened fire during a Fourth of July parade in a Chicago suburb, where seven people were killed and dozens of others wounded.
Concealed on a rooftop, the shooter opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle on paradegoers Monday along Highland Park's Central Avenue. His position made it difficult for law enforcement to determine immediately the origin of the bursts of gunfire, according to Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen.
"The noise was bouncing off the buildings. People were pointing in different directions," Jogmen told CNN on Thursday in an interview.
