Silence is set to spread across Highland Park at 10:14 a.m. Tuesday to mark the moment one year ago when a gunman opened fire at the city’s Fourth of July parade.
Residents will remember the seven people killed and dozens wounded in the mass shooting at different gatherings throughout the day. The somber anniversary’s events include a ceremony in the morning, a community walk, a picnic and a concert.
The events are an effort to give people in Highland Park an opportunity to participate and reflect on their own terms, Mayor Nancy Rotering said.
