The suspect in the Chicago shooting bought his gun legally

Chicago today is steeped in grief and anger.

Grief for the senseless loss of human life and anger because these mass shootings are becoming more frequent, taking more victims and becoming a part of everyday life in the US.

Only a few days ago, the scene of the tragedy was one of the quietest in Chicago, a preferred residential area for young families with young children.

During the shooting last night, there was such a panic that some of the people hid their children in the nearby containers to protect them from the flying bullets, BNT reported.

Today it became clear that the attacker had been preparing the attack weeks ago.

He used camouflage and was wearing women's clothing at the time of his capture.
