US: Six people killed, dozens wounded in Highland Park July Fourth parade

In the United States, six people were killed and more than two dozen wounded in a mass shooting incident at the July Fourth Independence Day parade in the wealthy suburb of Highland Park outside Chicago, Illinois last night.

Authorities said a 22-year-old man has been taken into police custody after an hours-long manhunt. The July 4 shooting was the latest in the shooting incidents marring the United States. Schools, churches, grocery stores, and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months.
