>> all right, i love being with you guys. that is the edition of "the five." happy fourth of july, everyone. ♪ ♪ >> this is a fox news alert, police arresting suspect the gunman who allegedly opened fire on crowds gathering to celebrate the fourth of july in affluent chicago suburb. the authorities say a man launched an attack near a rooftop near a parade route and called the action totally random and intentional. you are watching "fox & friends first" on this tuesday morning i'm griff jenkins. >> and griff, how are you doing, todd and carley have the day off. six people killed and 30 hurt
1:01 am
and the victims taken to the hospital ranging in age from eight to 85 years old. the doctor say four or five of them were just kids. >> griff: 78-year-old nicholas lost his life and reportedly in town and attended a parade with a dozen members. the witness describing what it was like. the witness described the tragedy. >> everybody is pretty shaken. i think you see this stuff elsewhere but it definitely hits a lot harder when your hometown but also right in front of you. definitely some moments today that our family will never forget. >> ashley: madeleine rivera in the park with more details, good morning, madeleine. >> good morning, griff and ashley we got here a few minutes ago and the first thing you
1:02 am
notice when you get here the chairs lying around to show you how people desperately and quickly search for cover as the shots ringing out yesterday morning. this was supposed to be a joyful event. people gathered here early monday to watch the july 4th parade when they started hearing shots. a lot of people at first thought they were fireworks. they quickly realized what it was. they desperately started searching for cover. it is devastating when you hear the community a close-knit community talk about the last thing they would ever imagine would have happened july 4th, griff and ashley. >> griff: thank you very much. we will check in with you as the news breaks. let's bring in chicago and 911 dispatcher keith thornton jr. keith, thank you for coming in early. very difficult news to wake up to and not what anyone wants to witness on the fourth of july.
1:03 am
but keith, if you can't, describe for us this area. highland park is not sort of chicago as we think. this is on the north lake shore area. and i believe this is actually the community where '80s movie ""ferris bueller's day off"." not where you expect to see the violence. >> good morning, this is a wonderful area. in family, just like chicago, the great family of chicago, wonderful school systems. and suburb city of chicago, 25 miles north of chicago's downtown area. wonderful area, great community, and a lot going on for the chicago bulls, michael jordan used to live there. this is not one of the troubled areas. which goes back all across the
1:04 am
united states, these things can happen anywhere. >> ashley: i want to touch on that a little bit more, keith. you said essentially no area is exempt from something like this from happening. a little less than 30,000 people that lived there. talk about how this community like this is going to react or how they will come back from this when they are not used to seeing things like this happen. like you said, 20 minutes north, 25 minutes south, this is something we hear about every week. a different type of violence that we are used to hearing about every weekend in chicago. >> unfortunately, we go back yesterday at this parade, there was a children's bike parade 20 minutes prior to this. so, this would have been a lot more catastrophic and possibly more injuries and death.
1:05 am
but those injured from this, how did you come back in i don't know the answer. this is kind of sporadic where it happened here and there. and maybe popping up, the school shooting several weeks ago. so many children dead, this is a norm. and we are getting used to this across the united states in big cities and it's very sad. >> griff: keith, walk us through if you will the pressure on dispatchers in a situation like this. you have a suspect at large and how you sort of process this sort of thing in real time. >> i can tell you when that was evolving, different things that came up, the response time, what i can say in situations like this, this is not a normal situation.
1:06 am
and dispatch do you have to take a lot of action quickly. you have to set the parameters up, you have to talk to officers on the radio and let them know what is going on. even 911 calls and being overwhelmed. and coming from a little town like this, this is not big. so yesterday, multiple law enforcement agencies out at the location. they have something called a box alarm system. within that system, a lot of fire departments. so this was very catastrophic and as well as the police officer, paramedics and dispatchers and hospitals in the area. hundreds of hundreds of people would go to the area to the hospitals. so it was overwhelming.
1:07 am
speed to keith, since you are a 911 dispatcher, have you seen over the years perhaps a decline in mental health and correlation with these crimes that you call for? >> absolutely. where are you in from there is no mental health care. they have a program and whatnot, but we go through these things. chicago, all this time, right over the weekend we had 55 people, eight people dead and that was all from gunshot spirit that was the last several days of the weekend. we are to enjoy the independence of this country. excuse me, 5-month-old baby while in the vehicle driving with his mother. so here are these things over and over, not just the first responders but dispatchers. we need more mental health not only for the first responders and dispatchers but look at this
1:08 am
picture, clearly something was wrong with this individual. it is very hard for me to process. dispatch did not know something was off with him. >> griff: we are so grateful to dispatchers like yourself to deal with these things. and vice president kamala harris visited today in chicago and commented previously not to talk about this. education related visit, but no doubt she will likely address this. the story you are telling dispatcher in chicago may be the country doesn't fully understand just how bad the violence is. what do you look to hear from her? >> you know her as well as president biden, just to be more proactive. and i have said this, you need to be present and active. and the flying back-and-forth.
1:09 am
chicago as well as the rest of the united states need to be more proactive. and of individuals and places and the country. but also, protecting our children, protecting our families, protecting law enforcement officers as well as first responders. that is not happening. i'm hoping some sort of message will come from the vice president. i would love to hear those comments and see what she has to say. >> ashley: strong words, keith thornton jr., thank you for getting up and helping us unpack this this morning. we appreciate it. have a great day. now a fox news alert, two philadelphia police officers were shot during the fourth of july concert and fireworks show attended by thousands of people. one officer was struck in the shoulder. the other suffered a brazen wound to the head. both were taken to a local hospital. they are stable and released after the incident, jim kenney i

everybody, your heart breaks for these victims. so much of this to senseless and preventable. but we have a district attorney who has completely turned his back on the law, public safety command victims. it is extremely unfortunate. this is why we are doing this. this is a story where there is all too many and we need to get him out of office immediately to prevent or senseless tragedies from happening. >> griff: are right, tim, it is heartbreaking. i conduct at that interview and i was stunned by the grief understandably from the parents appear as a follow-up, fox news correspondent asked gascon for a comment. would you like to say to the parents? he had no reaction. he didn't say anything. is gascon really turned a cold shoulder to what is happening in the city? >> you know, he's taken a new public relations in the last two

lives and gotten closer to potentially qualifying here. i'm not sure exactly where he's going with it, but essentially at this point, he is saying all of my policies are worth it. we can't just look at these few bad instances and have to push forward. and it's really beyond belief because this is a completely failed social experiment and it's clearly dangerous. >> griff: so you clearly articulate why you are doing this. but is this problem larger than george gascon? >> well, as you just saw her recently in san francisco, you had the d.a. there who just recalled. you are seeing district attorney and other countries following similar scripts. it is certainly a problem for all of those communities. i think what gascon wanted to do or how he got elected was by saying he wanted reform. there is an appetite for that in the country. his version of the reform come i don't think he should call it that anymore.
1:21 am
it is a total disaster. you can have public safety, prosecute crime and due reform at the same time. it is not what is done in los angeles. >> griff: why is it that gascon not listening to his own constituents who say, we don't buy your type of reform? >> you know, it is tough. sometimes i think just that committed to his ideology and other times, i'm sure he's gaslighting all of us and must be aware of the effects. it is really hard to get in his head exactly. at this point, it doesn't really matter. we will try to fire him from his job because that's what needs to take place. >> griff: it looks like that is what the whole though my cards old, tim lineberger trying to recall gascon effort. timken might keep us posted and we will check in with you later. thank you so much, ashley. >> ashley: a program using a program to heal veterans, country singers like cameron

i wanted to serve and preserve that for future generations for my kids. >> what was come back like? >> my company was like the main effort at the time. we got in fights almost every day. i kind of think about my longest days that i was there, probably 18 hour days. we actually took a pause and found out we were on top of an ied that happen to be not plugged in at the time. >> oh, my gosh. i got lucky there but the best day over there we would knock on a door and they invited us right in. all the men were out in the courtyard and the children are super happy. >> what do you want this song to be about? >> i want to go somewhere no matter where you come from, you can make it here. with that, some surface as well and the sacrifice that comes along with it. >> it is a beautiful story and
