As always, we are grateful to first responders and law enforcement.
I spoke with Governor Pritzker and Mayor Rotering and offered the full support of the federal government to their communities.
I also called on federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who currently remains at large.
Members of the community should follow the instructions of the authorities and I will be watching closely as we learn more about those whose lives were lost and pray for those hospitalized with serious injuries.
