Highland Park, Ill. (WLS) — A temporary memorial honoring the seven people killed in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade shooting opens Friday.
It replaces the memorial that was created immediately after the shooting. People can come this morning and leave flowers at this new location. But it will remain temporary.
The city is moving six large photo portraits of some of those killed in the shooting.

Meanwhile, as many people continue to recover from their injuries, the city is planning a permanent memorial based on feedback from victim’s families and the public.
