Tinley Park Honors July 4 Parade Shooting Victims: Flags At Half Staff

TINLEY PARK, IL — Tinley Park officials have lowered flags to half staff in recognition and tribute to the lives lost in the Highland Park July 4 parade. The flags will stay in that position until July 9, according to a notice on the Village website.

In court Wednesday, shooting defendant Robert "Bobby" Crimo III was denied bond with the judge citing a "specific and present threat to the community." Crimo faces seven counts of first-degree murder in the mass shooting that terrorized those along the parade route in Highland Park.

The death toll has risen to seven victims as Wednesday morning.

Five people died at the scene of the shooting, officials said: Jacquelyn "Jacki" Sundheim, 63, of Highland Park; Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78, of Morelos, Mexico; Katherine Goldstein, 64, of Highland Park; Irina McCarthy, 35, of Highland Park; and Kevin McCarthy, 37, of Highland Park.

Stephen Straus, 88, Highland Park, died Monday at an area hospital, and Eduardo Uvaldo, 69, of Waukegan died of his wounds on Tuesday.

"What happened on July 4 in Highland Park was horrific," said Tinley Park Mayor Michael Glotz. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families, friends, and first responders that had their lives changed forever that day."
