周一早上,当艾比·布罗西奥(Abby Brosio)和她的公公站在伊利诺伊州高地公园(Highland Park)观看7月4日的游行时,一阵子弹从大楼顶部直接飞过街道。
“我记得我环顾四周,试图找出声音是从哪里传来的,”布罗西奥周二早上告诉“早安美国”。“事实上,我抬头看了看街对面的商店,看到屋顶上的枪手,我尖叫着说那是一名枪手。”
她说她看到了“长发和一把枪。”她说,当她转身带着1岁的女儿和3岁的儿子走进丈夫托尼经营的Gearhead Outfitters商店时,她被一颗子弹擦伤了。
她说,她的公公腿部中弹。
年有6人死亡,超过24人受伤周一的大规模枪击事件据官员说,在芝加哥北部郊区的高地公园。警方周一表示,他们拘留了与该事件有关的21岁的罗伯特“鲍比”克里莫三世。
枪击开始时,托尼·布罗西奥在Gearhead Outfitters里面。当游行的观众冲向商店,寻找掩护时,他帮忙协调。商店内的视频显示人群在里面奔跑。有些人跌倒,有些人向身后瞥了一眼。
“我们只是想让尽可能多的人进去,”他周二告诉“GMA”。“就像我说的,这只是本能。”
他说,两个兄弟都有一种感觉,那就是他们“永远不会发生”在一个积极的拍摄环境中。
“你总是会说,‘这种事在这里永远不会发生’,”他说。“就是这样。”
“这就像一场梦。我只能对自己说,‘这不是真的,’”艾比说。
她说,当艾比和她的公公到达Gearhead Outfitters的安全地带时,她意识到他们都被子弹击中了。她说,两人都被送往当地医院,后来被释放。
Highland Park 4th of July parade shooting survivors speak out
As Abby Brosio stood with her father-in-law watching the Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, on Monday morning, a hail of bullets began to fly from top of the building directly across the street.
"I remember looking around to try to figure out where the sound was coming from," Brosio told "Good Morning America" on Tuesday morning. "And I, in fact, looked up at the neighboring business across the street and saw the shooter on the roof and I just screamed that it was a shooter."
She said she saw "long hair and a gun." As she turned to pull her 1-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son into Gearhead Outfitters, a store managed by her husband, Tony, she was grazed by a bullet, she said.
Her father-in-law was shot in the leg, she said.
Six people were killed and more than 24 others were injured in Monday's mass shooting in Highland Park, a suburb north of Chicago, according to officials. Police said on Monday they took into custody Robert "Bobby" Crimo III, 21, in connection with the incident.
Tony Brosio was inside Gearhead Outfitters as the shooting began. As parade spectators rushed the store, looking to take cover, he helped coordinate. Video from inside the store shows crowds running inside. Some stumble, others glance behind them.
"We were just trying to get as many people as we possibly could inside," he told "GMA" on Tuesday. "Like I said, it was just instinct."
Both the Brosios had the feeling that it "could never happen" to them that they'd be in an active shooting situation, he said.
"You alway have that, 'It could never happen here,'" he said. "It just did."
"It was like a dream. All I could say to myself was, 'This isn't real,'" Abby said.
As Abby and her father-in-law reached the safety of Gearhead Outfitters, she realized that they'd both been hit by bullets, she said. Both were taken to a local hospital and later released, she said.
