Aiden McCarthy, whose parents Irina and Kevin McCarthy were killed in the Highland Park parade shooting, does not know the are gone, ABC News reports."When I was going around the corner, there was like a brick wall like support beam and I was just thinking, well, I can hide behind this, if this you know, if the shots come towards us but that's what I was thinking at the time, is like you know where I can hide to get away from the gunshots," he says.
Schlifke's family was fortunate. Adam, his stepfather and stepbrother were able to escape the gunfire. They eventually learned his mother and sons were safe too.That's where they waited for hours while police searched for the shooter, who killed seven people and wounded dozens others."Running that's what I see oftentimes, it's just everybody running and you know, really scared about what was happening," he says.
