On Monday July 4, a shooting broke out in Highland Parknear Chicago, killing seven. A young orphan child who survived has moved the United States.
A image remained from the killing of Highland Park (USA) which killed seven people on Monday July 4. A two-year-old child survivor of the shooting has a heartbreaking story. Found alone in the street, the child was first taken in by a woman in shock. A couple testified: “Her body was shaking and we thought she couldn’t continue to take care of this little one.” The man then rushed to look for the boy’s parents, which was when he discovered the bodies on the ground.
Transported to the hospital, the two-year-old child was still covered in blood on the level of the legs. Still without news from the parents, the media started making calls. The story turned tragic when the names of both parents were released as victims of the killings. The father, heroic, would have intervened between the bullets and his son when he was about to die. An online prize pool for the child already amounts to two million dollars.
