HIGHLAND PARK, Ill.—Morgan Moss, a lifelong resident of Highland Park, Illinois, couldn’t sleep the night of July 4. On the morning of July 5, he went back downtown and quietly walked around the crime scene.

He was in the Fourth of July parade driving a company bus when a gunman began randomly shooting at the crowd from a rooftop. After opening the bus door to let a dozen parade-goers in, he took a side road and drove them to a safe location.
