so you can go and see all those, lovely, lemony, lemons. ♪ and never wonder if you got a good deal. because you did. ♪ this is cnn breaking news. the. hello and welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. a man aged in his early 20s is now in custody in relation to a mass shooting at a fourth of july celebration in a suburb north of chicago, illinois. we have some video from that parade and i need to warn you, it is disturbing. [ gunshots ]

>> five people died on the street. another died later in hospital. more than two dozen others were treated for gunshot wounds. those taken to hospital range in age from 8 to 85. and most have since been released. police say they believe robert crimo iii opened fire from the rooftop of a building along the parade route. they say they recovered firearm evidence from the scene. crimo was arrested a few hours later not far away, in lake forest, illinois. he led police on a brief chase, but it was eventually taken into custody. >> this individual is believed to have been responsible for what happened and the investigation will continue. charges have not been approved yet at this time and we're a

long way from that. there's still a long investigation and there are a lot of efforts that are going to continue tonight. >> we have more now from cnn's adrienne bros does. >> reporter: investigators say it was a north chicago police officer who found that 22-year-old investigators believe who is responsible for this crime scene behind me. that officer called for backup. there was a short vehicle pursuit. incelvestigatiors say they tookt 22-year-old into custody without incident. meanwhile, earlier in the day, we did hear from people who were attending the parade, including one woman who sheltered behind a dumpster. listen in. >> i saw people shot and killed around me. and a lot of people hiding. a man actually went at one point to find his son and he asked me to watch his kids, so, we were all hiding together and the kids, really little girls, they were like, what's going on?

i'm like, it's just fireworks. people get silly with fireworks. i stayed with them for a half hour. >> reporter: she also shared with us that father, before taking off to find his other children, put his children inside of the dumpster for protection. meanwhile, six people were shot and killed. five of them died on scene here. a dozen others injured. the motive still unclear. adrienne broaddus, cnn, highland park, illinois. >> well, highland park police identify the suspect as being 22 years old. later the fbi reported he was 21. cnn has reached out to authorities for more information on that. and the confusion that unfolded. >> we were at the beginning of the parade. heard what we thought was a sick joke of gunshots. people started running towards

us. weren't really sure what was going on, because we thought it was a prank until too many people started coming. ran out with everyone else. >> and then we go, oh, a pop, pop, pop, and i think everybody just thought, oh, maybe there's something with the float, they're doing something on the float and then it just opened up, just a rain of gunshots. just so quickly for quite awhile. at least it seemed. >> and then we walked a little closer and i saw someone, like, on the ground with his leg in the air and the girl, like, crying next to him and then to my left, my mom and i saw, like, at least three more people on the ground, like, bloody. we just started running towards our car. >> joining me now from los angeles, cnn's steve moore. thank you for joining us. >> any time. >> this attack happened in the

morning at this fourth of july parade in a suburb north of chicago. and by the afternoon, after a massive manhunt, some eight, nine hours later, a suspect was in custody. what's the next phase of this invest fwags? >> well, what they're going to do is try to figure out everything that motivated him from the beginning to the time he was captured. they're also going to try to determine what things were public, what things were known that could have tipped law enforcement off. there are several phases of this. number one, you're going to want to work on the prosecution. you're gouge to want to prevent it from ever happening again. so, you may have literally two teams working on this, trying to decide how it happened, how -- and how we didn't interdict it. and then there's going to be the determination of how he got his

weapon. >> and we are hearing from police that they believe that this gunman shot from a rooftop. what does that tell you -- does that signal some level of planning? >> yes, it does. first of all, the stairway, the ladder to that roof, was unlocked. he would have had to have known in advance that this was unlocked. i think what you're going to find is, if you go through any atm cameras, doorbell cameras, things like that, you're going to find that he was in the area at least several times, planning this entire -- entire event long before he accomplished it. >> a horrific event. six people dead, dozens more in hospital s around the region. those ages ranging from 8 to 85. and many more terrorized. the governor of illinois noted

that this is a uniquely american problem. i just want to play some sound. >> it is devastating that a celebration of america was ripped apart by our uniquely american plague. a day dedicated to freedom has put into stark relief the one freedom we as a nation refuse to uphold -- the freedom of our fellow citizens to live without the daily fear of gun violence. >> and the governor added that the founders who wrote the constitution carried muskets, not assault weapons. >> right. >> after ten years in the u.s., there was a ban on military-style assault weapons, that ban expired, it was never renewed. and that was a policy that joe biden worked on back when he was a senator. should that be renewed and what else could help? >> well, the first thing you have to do, before you -- before you do a large sweeping removal

of these weapons, is you have to work right now to keep them out of the hands of the mentally ill. we don't just have a gun plague going on here, we have a mental illness plague in america. you can't tell me that the last 10 or 11 shooters have been all mentally sane. so, we have to look at it from both the gun aspect and the mental illness aspect. what we've learned in chicago, which has had strict, strict gun laws for years, and has the highest gun homicide rate in the united states, we've learned that just outlawing the guns aren't going to solve the problems, until you deal with the reasons people are shooting them, because they'll find the weapons. >> but in so many of these cases, these weapons are legally purchased by 18-year-olds, 19-year-olds, 20-year-olds. >> right. and that's what we need to get

at right now, i mean, why are we -- why are we allowing 18 to 21 -- 18, 19, 20-year-olds to have these weapons? the problem in this case is, this person is 21, so we're going to have to decide as a nation what we -- what we value and what are our priorities on this? >> absolutely. a lot of work has to take place. steve moore, former special agent with the fbi, appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. well, u.s. president joe biden said he and the first lady were shocked by the senseless gun violence that's now hit yet another american community. mr. biden responded to the mass shooting in the u.s. ahead of the events marking independence day. cnn's phil mattingly has more from washington. >> reporter: well, president biden, like every other american, had what he expected to be a celebration of the nation, july 4th celebration,

shattered, once again in his administration, an administration who has seen so many mass shootings, so many mass shootings that actually led to the most substantive gun reform law in more than 30 years, a bipartisan law the president sign into law just a couple of weeks ago, now experiencing another one. the president getting on the phone with the illinois governor, with the mayor of highland park, surging federal law enforcement for that manhunt. he acknowledged the shooting in his july 4th remarks for a picnic of service members on the south lawn. take a listen. >> before i left for europe, i signed a law, the first real gun safety law in 30 years. and things will get better still, but not without more hard work together. we all heard what happened -- you all heard what happened today. but each day, we're reminded,

there's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. nothing guaranteed about our way of life. we have to fight for it. defend it. and earn it, by voting. >> reporter: the president also held a moment of silence for those killed and injured during that shooting later during the musical performance. again, the picnic, the celebration, the fourth of july, continuing here at the white house, but so is the sorrow, the recognition, that this just keeps happening. the president in his statement acknowledging that more needs to be done. certainly an accomplishment already on gun safety, but when it comes to gun violence, it's such a pervasive problem in the country, the president making clear what they've done so far isn't enough. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. well, i want to bring in political analyst michael genovese. thank you so much for joining us, michael. >> my pleasure. >> so, the u.s. president said,

there's much more work to be done to stop this gun violence, and that seems to be an understatement. when you lukook at the number o mass shootings in the u.s., more massacres than there have been days. what else is achievable in the near future? >> well, president biden is politically vulnerable. he has a razor thin majority in the house and 50/50 split in the senate, so, politically, he's on pretty thin ice. there is a bipartisan effort right now going on that has reached agreement on some very minor things that will be helpful, but not enough. the problem is that every time we have a mass shooting, which seems to come every other week, we follow a kind of a script. mass shooting takes place, republicans say it's not the time for politics, it's a time for prayer. democrats say, well, let's roll out the old stale reforms. and in, effect, nothing gets done, because the forces against

reform, the national rifle association, has two resources that are incredibly valuable in american politics. and they are money and motivated voters. and so president biden is really in a weak political position to do anything without massive and a concerted sub m ed public sup. >> and of course, this massacre happened on the fourth of july, a day that is meant to be a day of celebration of all that is american. and these mass shootings are uniquely american. the rest of the world struggles to understand why there isn't more political will to do more. michael, we made up a graphic to highlight the number of massacres in the u.s. this year. 311 so far this year. when we made this graphic a couple of hours ago, there were five mass shootings monday, it went up to six in the last hour or so. and 14 mass shootings since the start of july, july, we're only four days into july. guns, of course, are now the

number one killer of kids in the u.s. and this problem, it seems to be out of control. is there anything executive action that the president can take and if so, what's possible? >> there are executive orders and proclamations that the president can issue, but again, those are very temporary. those can be undone by the next president. the gold standard is still legislation, and that's what you need to really change things. but you raise the question about why so many in the united states? and there seems to be a kind of culture of guns and a culture of the romanticism of gun violence. look at our history of the conquering of the west. when i was a kid, i played cowboys and indians and i played shoot 'em up all the time. so, there's a kind of romantic link in movies in our history, in television, to the culture of violence. and as long as that cycle the not broken, as long as men are defined by the violence that they are capable of, then we're not going to solve the problem.

and if past is prelude, we will wring our hands, we'll seeay, ts is terrible, and then we'll move onto something else. >> and of course it's one of a number of major challenges facing america right now. just looking at the social feed during july 4th celebrations, a day that's meant to be typically celebrated, a lot of division in the u.s. right now, obviously a lot of economic issues, rising inflation, record gas prices. and also a great deal of disbelief over the supreme court overturning 50 years of precedent to outlaw abortion. and the u.s. president on friday warning that women and girls could be arrested if they cross borders to try to get reproductive health care. michael, how do you see the next few years playing out when it comes to politics in the u.s.? what can be done to unite the country? >> well, the question is what will break the log jam, the log jam of hyperpartisanship?

and the answer is, we need something big. what could that be? it could come in the form of great leadership, that doesn't seem on the horizon. or it could come in the form of great it icitizenship. the american public saying, we've had enough, we will tolerate no more. if you don't do this, we will vote against you, whether you're a democrat or a republican. not that we should be one issue voters, but we knneed to be vots who vote on important issues and let politicians know they are being watched and they can't get away with the kinds of slick politicians and the excuses anymore. action needs to be taken place and citizens must hold politicians to that change. they cannot let them off the hook. >> absolutely. michael genovese, as always, thank you so much. >> thank you so much. we are also following a developing story in philadelphia where two police officers were shot during fourth of july celebrations a few hours ago.

one officer suffered a graze wound to the head. another was wounded by a gunshot to the shoulder. they were both taken to hospital and a hospital spokesperson says they're both in a stable condition and underwent evaluation. no arrests have been made yet, but social media shows crowds of people running down the street where a concert and fireworks were taking place. well, still ahead on "cnn newsroom," after a key russian victory in eastern ukraine, moscow now setting its sights on a new target. we're going to go live to kyiv after a short break. stay with us. ♪ um, she's eating the rocket. ♪ lunchables! built to be eaten. ♪ this t tiny payment thing- is a giant pain! hi ladies! alex from u.s. bank! can she help? how about a comprehensive point of sale system... that can track invenry, manage schedules-

welcome back. new details are emerging about the suspect in the fourth of july mass shooting in highland park, illinois, just outside chicago. robert crimo is now in custody, but he's yet to be charged. investigators are combing through his social media. they say a significant amount of digital evidence already points in his direction. we've since learned he posted violent imagery. authorities say the gunman used a high powered rifle to fire on the crowd from a rooftop of a

nearby business. at least six people were killed and about two dozen others wounded. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says his troops have no alternative but to keep fighting, despite a critical loss in the east of the country. on monday, russian president vladimir putin declared victory in eastern ukraine's luhansk region, one day after ukrainian forces withdrew from their last stronghold in the area. it appears moscow is now turning its attention to donetsk in an effort to seize control of the entire donbas region. even as the fighting continues, ukraine is already looking towards its post-war future. on monday, the ukrainian prime minister outlined a $750 billion plan to rebuild his country. it was unveiled during the ukraine recovery conference happening right now in switzerland. in a virtual address, ukraine's president said the reconstruction of his country is

a common task of the democratic world. >> translator: to rebuild ukraine means to restore the principles of life. to restore the space of life. to restore what makes people human. of course, it means massive construction. of course it means huge funding and colossal investments. of course it means a whole you this level of security throughout our country. which will continue to live near russia. >> well, for more, i want to bring in cnn's scott mcclain who is in kyiv. russia now controls the luhansk region what does this mean for the battle of the donetsk? >> reporter: look, lynda, it means that the ukrainians are really shows no signs at this point that they're willing to go back to liuhluhansk. for the battle of donetsk,

there's every indication that the russians are trying to move swiftly to take it. we've seen some shelling in that region already. the russian -- or, the ukrainians say that in the lieu ha luhansk region, they were up against some of the most experienced fighters on the russian side and on the entire front line, sowbut so much of t war is being won and lost when it comes 0 the strength of the artillery and the ukrainians said they just could not compete. and overnight, we're seeing signs of the russian strength in their air power and their artillery strikes in dnipro. there were seven missile strikes overnight, six of them were shot down. but the russians say the ukrainians have fired on donetsk city with artillery strikes there. there's some video that cnn has been unable to verify that shows

the remains of what's left of a bombed-out market. the russian-backed separatists in that area say there were three people killed, dozens more injured and they are blaming the ukrainians for targeting civilian areas. so, lynda, this is going to be undoubtedly a bloody battle for this region. it's one that the ukrainians at this point don't seem like they'll be able to wage an adequate fight for. they say that when they do go to retake their lands, it will be when they have the artillery power to actually match the russians. >> yeah. tough battle ahead. scott mclean in kyiv for us, our thanks to you. well, still to come, more on the deadly shooting at a holiday parade in illinois. we'll hear from a witness who describes the chaos of the attack and how she hid from the shooter. .

welcome back, i'm linda kinkaid. more breakiing news this hour. the deadly shooting in highland park, illinois. video from the scene shows crowds of people running as shots rang out. we're about to play part of that video and i need to warn you, it is disturbing. [ gunshots ] >> at least six people were shot dead and more than two dozen others were injured. their ages ranging from just 8 to 85. the suspect in the mass shooting has been identified as robert crimo iii. he was arrested after an intense

manhunt. the police chief in the chicago suburb explained how they finally tracked him down. >> the subject that we were looking for, the person of interest, robert crimo iii, was spotted by a north chicago unit at buckley and 41, his vehicle, the vehicle that we were looking for. he initiated, attempted to initiate a traffic stop on that subject. that subject did flee. a brief pursuit went on. ultimately, they were able to get the subject stopped at wesley and 41 in lake forest. the suspect was taken into custody without incident. >> well, cnn spoke with a woman who says she was near the center of the shooting area, right across the street from where police believe the shooter was. the woman says the gunshots first sounded like fireworks, but a bad feeling prompted her to grab her father and take cover. >> i saw a wonderful parade turn

into a very scary moment. i saw people shot and killed around me. and a lot of people hiding. a man actually went at one point to find his son and he asked me to watch his kids, so, we were all hiding behind a dumpster together and the kids, they were like, what's going on? i'm like, it's just fireworks, people get silly with fireworks. i stayed with them for a half hour. the dad ended up putting his children in the dumpster to hide and stay safe. and it was probably 30 or us just hiding in this little corner behind the dumpsters. my dad and i ended up going on the roof to hide behind this large air conditioning unit and right across the street, i guess, is where they're saying where the shooter might have been and i told my dad, don't look up. it sounded -- it was the loudest thing i've heard. that's not, like, natural.

it was a pow, pow, pow, it was endless. my dad thinks it was 100. i think it was 50, at least. but just an endless pow, pow, pow, pow. just this loud bang. it sounded like if you're standing on top of a firework that's just endlessly going. i just had a bad feeling. it just seemed uncanny, and i had watched fireworks the night before and i'm like, this is too fast. and i just grabbed my dad and we ran and suddenly everyone was running behind us and people were just shot behind us. and they let us go back to get our car keys and everything and right where we were there, was a girl just dead. another man was shot in the ear, blood all over his face. it sounded like it was coming right next to us. and i might have -- either on the roof or -- it was probably within 100 feet from us, but i can't if they were from above or on the ground. but right where they were is --

and that's where people died. someone less than four arm lengths from me, just shot, fell. and it was -- it was just so surreal. it's complete shot. >> well, we will continue to -- the u.s. has finally weighed in on how shireen abu ackley was killed and who is to blame. we'll have more on that story when we return.or k from here, there has to be someone here making sure e everything is saf. secucure. consistent. so log in frfrom here. oror here. assured that someone i is here ready to fix anything. anytime. anywhere. even here. that's because nobody... and i mean nobody... makes hybrid work, work better.

a few hours later, after a very brief chase. investigators say they recovered firearm evidence from the scene of the shooting. well, gun violence has shaken people in denmark, in the wake of a rare shooting in copen hagen. a danish man is being held in a psychiatric facility for 24 days as police say he is suspected of killing three people and wounding several others at a shopping mall on sunday. social media footage shows people fleeing the mall and heavily armed law enforcement on the scene. one witness says it was chaotic. >> i mean, people didn't really know where they were running. they just -- even when they were outside the mall, they were running in different directions and trying to find different routes and jumping over fences. it was quite chaotic. >> well, authorities say the suspect was known to people in the psychiatric field. they added, there is no indication he was acting with

others, nor was it an act of terror, but the investigation is ongoing. the u.s. says israeli military gun fire was likely responsible for the killing of al jazeera journalist shireen abu akleh. the state department says a forensic examination of the fatal bullet could not reach a definitive conclusion. and that finding is not sitting well with the palestinian authority or abu akleh's family. cnn has more from jerusalem. >> reporter: the statement from the u.s. state department is important, because it's the first time the americans are sticking out any sort of position on who they believe killed shireen abu akleh while she was covering an israeli military raid in the west bank in may. the state department said a ballistic examination of the bullet e tracted from her body was inconclusive, because the bullet was badly damaged. they did determine that gunfire from israeli military positions was, quote, likely responsible

for her delt, but they have no reason to believe that she was intentionally targeted. they said it was rather likely the result of tragic circumstances during a military operation against factions of palestinian islamic jihad. the conclusion it was israeli fire is the same of multiple independent investigations, including one conducted by cnn. but the americans' conclusion is being met with anger. the police yan authority attorney general's office said it was surprised by the statement, saying they believe the bull let was good enough to be matched to the gun that was used. and a spokesperson for the palestinian authority presidency called on the u.s. administration to maintain its credibility and to hold israel fully responsible. abu akleh's family said they are incredulous. >> we will continue to call for justice. we will continue to call on the u.s. to carry out a transparent investigation by an independent body. in addition, we continue to call on the u.n. and the icc to carry

out an investigation and hold israel accountable and put an end to this grotesque impunity that israel continues to enjoy. we call for justice for shireen. >> the israeli prime minister said that while the idf has been unable to determine who was responsible for abu akleh's death, the military has determined conclusively, he says, that there was no intention to harm her. israeli defense minister still pointed some blame on palestinian milimilitants. >> unfortunately, it is not possible to determine the source of the shooting, and as such, the investigation will continue. it is important to emphasize that during this operation e event, like in many others, hundreds of bullets were fired at idf troops, which responded with fire power of their own, only in the direction of the sources of the shooting.

the first to bear responsibility in such events are the terrorists who operate from within population centers. >> reporter: the israeli military said that any decision to launch a criminal investigation will be made following the conclusion of its own operational examination. without specifying when they expect that to be completed. madas gold, cnn, jerusalem. i'm lynda kinkade at the cnn center. coming up next for our viewers in north america, akron, ohio, is on edge at officials brace for more protests over the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man. we're following the latest developments.

after officials released body cam footage showing the final moments of walker's life. cnn's paula sandoval has more from akron. >> reporter: authorities in the city of akron released about 18 minutes of body camera videos. each minute offering a different perspective, showing eight responding officers before they opened fire, shooting and killing jayland walker. after the release of the footage, akron's police chief said those officers will have to be accountable for each one of the shots they fired. >> they need to be able to articulate what specific threats they were facing and that goes for every round that goes down the barrel of their gun. and they need to be held to account. >> reporter: investigators over the weekend shared more about the possible perceived threat the officers faced during the pursuit, including a single gunshot that allegedly came from inside walker's car while police were chasing his vehicle. they say this muzzle flash image

captured by state traffic cameras is evidence. and investigators later recovered a shell casing at that scene. it was shortly after the car chase turned foot chase that you can see officers described walker reaching for his waist band before they shot him, caraccord to the police chief. he was unarmed at the time. they said the decision to at the employ lethal force as well as the number of shots fired is consistent with use of force protocols and officers' training. the medical examiner's report showed walker's body had at least 60 wounds as a result of gunfire. walker's family attorney -- >> if you have a gun on you and you drop your weapon and leave and you see him running across the parking lot, you can't drop him and seize his body with bullets. >> reporter: after the release of body cam footage nearly a week after the shooting -- >> justice for jayland -- >> reporter: tensions flared

sparking a fourth day of protests in akron. >> what i did see is him running and people firing on him. and does it take that much? rip walker's family says they want to get justice for jayland in a peaceful and dignified way. >> we don't want any rioting or anything like that. we want to -- we want answers. we feel that the pain and, you know, personally i want to scream out and be mad, but what is that going to do? we want to take that anger, we want to use it for the benefit of systemic change. >> reporter: paolo sandoval, cnn, akron, ohio. wnba star brittney griner is pleading with u.s. president joe biden to help free her from russian detention. a letter handwritten by griner was delivered to the white house monday morn reading, "as i sit here in a russian prison alone with my thought and without the

protection of my wife, family, friends, olympic skjersey or accomplishments i'm terrified i might be here forever." she was arrested a week after returning home and has been charged with drug smuggling charges and faces up to ten years in prison. her supporters include the head coach for her team, the phoenix mercury, say her letter to the white house is heartbreaking. >> if it was -- be home, right? it does. it's a's a statement about the e of women, the value of a black person, the value of a gay person. all of those things. and we -- we know it. and so that's when hurts a little more. >> brittney griner played basketball in russia during the wnba's off season. in her letter, griner beg police department biden not to forget

about her or the other american detainees. in the wake of the u.s. supreme court decision to overturn roe versus wade, the ruling that legalized abortion almost 50 years ago, many american women are now concerned that their reproductive health data stored in period tracking and fertility apps could be used against them. the company that own the apps are scrambling with privacy issues. these companies may be unable to protect users if a warrant compels them to turn over the data. any data related to reproduction is profitable. >> reporter: our data is everywhere, and it's for sale. now that roe versus wade is overturned, law enforcement could use a woman's personal data to bring criminal charges if they suspect she's received any legal abortion. >> there is no difference in the data from your reproductive choices than the pair of shoes

you looked at on line. it's treated exactly the same in the law right now, and that's what the pre-existing condition is. >> reporter: as states tighten abortion laws, prosecutors could go after people seeking an abortion or those helping them by subpoenaing data linked on fertility apps, period trackers, and on internet searches. companies currently sell that kind of data mainly to advertisers because it's profitable. >> data brokers, law enforcement buy information from them allt time. it could be used to prosecute women and girls who obtain tracking apps. >> reporter: they have some of the most sensitive information, but since roe versus wade was overturned, flow, a period tracking app that has 240 million users announced a mode where users can limit personal information. members are encouraged to reach out to the company if they want

their historical data removed. how can you fully protect against a member's data not being revealed? >> we are making sure that our anonymous mode and natural cycles will be impossible for us to connect the personal data and the sensitive data. >> reporter: the co-founder of natural cycles -- who has access to that key that could only connect the data? >> only the user. >> reporter: natural cycles is a subscription fda-approved border patrol app that also -- birth control app that also helps those who want to get pregnant. >> we have very sensitive data on pregnancies but are very much in control of that data. >> reporter: cnn reached tout nearly a dozen big tech companies about how they would handle data requests through subpoenas and warrants from law enforcement targeting abortion seekers. some did not respond at all or

directly to the question. apple responded saying health data is encrypted when two factor authentication is enabled. while meta says, quote, we comply with government requests for user information only where we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. >> they could fight warrants in court, but if the warrants are upheld, they're going to be ordered to comply. >> reporter: some legal experts don't believe even anonymous mode data is fully protected and say the only way to fully protect privacy is through federal law limiting the data companies can collect, store, and sell. >> there's a lot of panic now, and i think rightfully so, about the foaling and the ability to trust and expect that the information about -- most sensitive information about our bodies and irs and health is ours. >> reporter: cnn, new york. thanks for joining me for this edition of "cnn newsroom."
