Federal and state law enforcement agencies, including FBI, and Illinois State Police, assisted the local security officers during the incident.
“Our community, like so many before us, is devastated. It’s impossible to imagine the pain of this kind of tragedy until it happens in your backyard. Gun violence - a mass shooting such as this casts a much wider net of agony than what the public is typically exposed to; it’s a crisis that devastates entire families and communities in a single moment and we know will take time to heal,” she said.
Furthermore, the celebrations related to the Independence Day have been cancelled and flags to fly at half-mast to mourn the people killed in the incident.
