Officials recovered a "high-powered rifle" from the scene where a gunman opened fire — killing six people and sending another 24 to the hospital — at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, on Monday, authorities said at a press conference.
According to Chris O'Neill, the Highland Park Police commander, "firearm evidence was located on a rooftop of a nearby business," where multiple witnesses told local news broadcaster WGN they saw the gunman start shooting three-quarters of the way through the parade at about 10:14 a.m. local time.
The suspect — described by police as a white man between 18 and 20 years old, with long dark hair, a small build, and wearing a t-shirt — remains at large.

We have the right to know what type of gun it was Ron. It's highly suspicious that the local government won't tell us and the state media won't dig into it. Maybe because it would show a colossal failure of the Highland Park mayor and laws?
