HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — Katie Goldstein, whose neighbors describe her as “welcoming” and “lovely,” brought them baked goods during the holidays.
On the Fourth of July, however, she attended the Highland Park parade where a gunman killed seven and injured dozens. Goldstein was one of the seven killed, leaving behind her husband and two daughters.
One of her daughters, 22-year-old Cassie Goldstein, was with her at the parade, she told NBC Nightly News’ Lester Holt in an interview Tuesday. They wanted to get out of the house to have some fun because Katie Goldstein was mourning the death of her own mother.
