Highland Park shooting: 6 dead and 2 dozen others shot at parade; suspect arrested

July 5, 2022 — ChicagoTribune.com reports: “On an idyllic summer morning, from a rooftop high above the Highland Park Independence Day parade, a gunman aimed down at the floats and lawn chairs and strollers and opened fire.

The high school marching band’s members sprinted for their lives, still carrying their flutes and saxophones. Bystanders scooped up young children and fled. In all, six people were killed. Some two dozen others were injured, either by rifle fire or in the stampede away from the scene. The victims ranged in age from 8 to 85.

It was the Fourth of July, and the North Shore suburb of Highland Park became the latest American community to be terrorized by a mass shooting.

For hours after the attack, officers searched building by building near the parade route, which was littered with belongings abandoned in the chaos: A double stroller. Balloons. Bikes. Pacifiers. Sandals. A hat printed with stars and stripes…”  (The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? – Jeremiah 17:9.  Desperately wicked – or gravely ill certainly describes the natural condition of mankind.  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; – II Timothy 3:1-4; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: – Romans 1:28-31.    The Bible tells us that this will continue to increase in these latter days until the Lord returns.  Revelation 22:20 says: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly to which all believers say: Amen, Even so, come, Lord Jesus.  See the next two reports.)

Witnesses say Copenhagen attack suspect went to ‘hunt people,’ lured victims closer

July 4, 2022 — The Times of Israel reports: “A gunman killed three people and wounded several others in a shooting at a busy Copenhagen mall on Sunday as panicked shoppers said they ran for their lives.
