The shooting happened “in the area of the Independence Day parade route,” the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said in statement posted shortly after 11 a.m. CDT.

“I saw this guy shooting. I saw his eyes… the first round was maybe 40-50 shots,” a witness told television station WGN. “He stopped and must have reloaded. I realized this was real and got everyone down as flat as we could.”

There’s no official word on injuries or deaths.

However, Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) reports there are fatalities.

“Hearing of loss of life and others injured,” he wrote on Twitter. “My campaign team and I were gathering at the start of the parade when the shooting started. My team and I are safe and secure. We are monitoring the situation closely and in touch with the Mayor.”

“Highland Park Police are responding to an incident in downtown Highland Park,” according to statement from the lakeshore city just north of Chicago.

Witnesses say shooter was on a roof of a store when shooting occurred, according to WGN.

“Witnesses say the shooter was on the roof of Uncle Dan’s and fired into parade. 5 or 6 shots, then a pause, then 5 or 6 more shots. The shooter is still at large and North Shore residents are being asked to stay inside,” the television station reported.
