But the impact of these losses is far reaching. The victims ranged in age from 35 to 88. These were the mothers, fathers and grandfathers. Officials on Tuesday identified six of the victims killed in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade. A seventh person died Tuesday at a Cook County hospital and has not yet been identified. At least 39 people were injured when police said a gunman opened fire on the parade from a rooftop. Among the victims are a lifelong member of a local synagogue and a doting grandfather.

I pulled up and said ‘that’s not our kid.’ It’s not his blood, he’s fine. What should we do?” And the cop said, ‘We can’t babysit now, can you take care of him?’ We said, ‘Sure,’” said Greg Ring, who will be marching. Stephen Straus was a financial adviser who took the train daily to his office at a Chicago brokerage, his family said. “He was an honest man who worked all his life,” a niece said. “He shouldn’t have died this way.” Nicolas Toledo-Zargoza’s family said he had worked in the Highland Park area for many years after arriving in the U.S. in the 1980s. In a statement, his grandson said: “My grandfather was a funny man. He was always joking and playful with his grandchildren … he spent his last days swimming and fishing and being around family.” He was retired and lived in Mexico, but came in the summer to spend time with his children and grandchildren. The North Bank Congregation of Israel confirmed that Sunheim was a lifelong colleague and staff member of the synagogue. In a statement, the church said: “…our beloved Jackie Sandheim was one of the victims murdered in the Highland Park parade.” They continued to call her a dear member, known for her kindness and warmth. Katie Goldstein’s husband and daughters said the same about her. No one has ever met a nicer, said her husband. Police said Tuesday that no children were killed, but a seventh victim died at an Evanston hospital, police said Tuesday afternoon. ATTENTION: The doctor attending the parade remembers tending to the victims Dr. Wendy Rush was at the parade and attended to the injured. “We heard the shots and then it stopped and a lot of people, everyone was jumping into action,” Dr Russ said. “People identified themselves as doctors, as nurses, anyone who could help, had special skills. In our field as an anesthesiologist, we have very specialized skills in managing breathing for people. We are very well trained in CPR and advanced life support and starting IVs and people were just helping everywhere.” President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden ‘Shocked’ by Highland Park Parade Shooting
Among the approximately 39 people injured or injured in the attack were Chicago Public Schools teacher Zoe Kolpack and her husband, Steven. Although their children were not injured, the teacher’s father and brother-in-law were also shot and injured. Kolpack teaches at Dever Elementary. CPS said in a statement, “Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is devastated to learn that one of our CPS teachers and her family members are among those injured in Monday’s mass shooting in Highland Park. Our thoughts are with our colleague at William Dever Elementary and her family, as well as everyone affected by this tragedy. CPS officials have been in contact with the teacher and her family, and the crisis team and support services will be available to support Dever Elementary staff and students as needed.” Highland Park Hospital officials said nine people remained hospitalized Tuesday, ranging in age from 14 to 70.
