Funerals begin for victims of Highland Park shooting

Seven people were killed and 30 others were wounded when a shooter fired at a Fourth of July parade in Illinois

They were grandparents, parents, nature lovers and successful professionals who believed America was worth celebrating. None of them survived going to an Independence Day parade staged by their Chicago suburb after a sniper opened fire on the crowd.

Funerals began Friday for the seven who were killed at Monday's Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, in an attack that also left more than 30 other people wounded.
