Officials advised a information convention that six folks have been killed and 24 taken to hospital, and {that a} rifle was recovered from the scene.
“Law enforcement agencies are searching for the suspect; evidence of a firearm has been recovered,” the town of Highland Park reported on its web site. “Numerous law enforcement officers are responding and have secured a perimeter around downtown Highland Park.”
