A manhunt is underway for the gunman responsible for murdering six parade-goers during a Fourth of July celebration in a suburb about 30 miles north of Chicago on Monday.

According to Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli, the shooter reportedly opened fire on the crowd from a rooftop while using a rifle. That weapon has since been recovered.
