Six people killed, over 20 wounded in mass shooting at parade in Illinois

At least six people were killed and more than 20 were wounded in a shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois.

It marks at least the 308th mass shooting in the US this year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking such incidents, CNN reports. 

A suspect, identified by police as Robert E. Crimo III, has been arrested after a manhunt and brief chase from police ended without further incident, authorities said.

Highland Park, Illinois, is located about 25 miles north of downtown Chicago. Police say the shooting started about 20 minutes from the start of the parade.

A total of 26 patients were received at Highland Park Hospital, 25 of whom sustained gunshot wounds. The patients range in age from 8 to 85 years old.
