As today's show begins we're awaiting an update from law enforcement in the suburb of Highland Park, Illinois, where yesterday yet another deranged person with a gun proved again that in the United States, nowhere -- and no day -- is safe. Police say the gunman fired a high-powered rifle from a rooftop into a crowd at a Fourth of July event, killing six and injuring dozens more. The Highland Park mayor says the shooter bought the gun legally, despite a growing body of online evidence of disturbing posts from this man fantasizing about carnage and carrying out attacks and even suicide by cop.
