Three new videos posted online captured the sounds of the mass shooting sniper attack on the Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois Monday morning that killed six and seriously wounded 26. The suspect, a white male aged 18-20 with long black hair and a small build, reportedly fired from a rooftop overlooking the parade and is still at large. A high powered rifle was recovered at the scene by police.
The first video was taken from a room in a building overlooking the parade and appears to have been close to where the shooting took place. The video picks up toward the end of a loud burst of gunfire echoing off the buildings and then captures a full burst from a large capacity magazine being discharged.
