The Highland Park City Council met for the first time after the July 4th parade shooting that left seven people dead and dozens of others hurt.
The meeting began with a moment of silence as city officials and residents honored the seven people killed, the more than two dozen injured, and the many other lives that have been forever impacted by the tragedy."I am so appreciative of our entire city team, and all who have joined together to support our community," Rotering said. "They have lifted us up with special care and attention, and we are united in the face of trauma.
"There's trauma that people are still experiencing," said State Rep. Bob Morgan . "For those of us who travel through downtown Highland Park, we see it. We're experiencing our own grief and trauma and moving on as best we can." On the north side of city hall, a slew of items that were left behind along the parade route in a moment of terror still remain unclaimed three weeks later. They include picnic chairs, bicycle helmets, sandals and water bottles.
They're perhaps unclaimed for a reason, with many residents still coming to terms with what happened.
