2 years since Fourth of July shooting, city remembering and honoring victims

Highland Park, a city affected by a mass shooting, is working to reclaim Independence Day while honoring victims. The city employs a trauma-informed approach, offering support services and establishing a resiliency division. Community events are adjusted for safety, with psychologists advising on trauma management. The parade features modifications like a drone flight instead of fireworks, and on-site support is available.
