A Chicago man who admitted shooting dead seven people and wounding dozens of others during a 2022 Independence Day parade has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Lake County Judge Victoria Rossetti handed down seven consecutive sentences of life in prison, as prosecutors requested, for the first-degree murder charges after hearing emotional testimony from survivors and the relatives of those killed.
