It sounds like most of the people thought it was just fireworks at first. It's a 4th of July parade after all. I don't think it hit most of the people in his area until they had gotten into a store to take shelter. Then people came in saying there were dead bodies on the sidewalk.
His girlfriend is a teacher which is why they were there since some of her students were marching in the parade. And she was obviously in hysterics hoping none of them were shot. Lot of people got separated and parents I guess were throwing kids in dumpsters to protect them (which is actually some quick thinking).
For those who don't know Highland Park, it's one of the last places you'd ever suspect violence. Affluent neighborhood with almost no crime. You'll probably hear about how they shot a bunch of 80's movies there (Ferris Bueller, Home Alone, Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles, etc). It just feels so random now.
