4th of July Parade shooting in Illinois

Post by Jim Eshelman »

July 4, 2022, 10:14 AM CDT, Highland Park, IL

In Highland Park, IL, a suburb north of Chicago, six people were killed and 24 injured when a shooter fired from a rooftop at a July 4 parade. Instant panic occurred as hundreds of people attending the parade fled the area.

Thus far, he hasn't been caught (a rifle was recovered) and people have been advised to stay inside as SWAT teams go door to door. Independence Day events have been cancelled in surrounding towns.

LA Times (same owner as the Chicago Sun-Times) wrote that the parade began about 10 AM, with gunfire starting 10 minutes later. This is broadly consistent with CNN's report of "two consecutive spurts of gunfire" about 10:20 AM Central Time. I'm more inclined to trust NBC News' report that gunfire began at about 10:14 AM. This means the shooting began as Moon rose.

The charts are quite good! - The Year charts sets it up, the Quarter is fine, the Month shows something powerful happening, the Week starts to nail it, and then - in the absence of anything in the Capsolar for the day - the Arisolar steps in to deliver a remarkable convergence of matching quotidians and transits.
