美国国庆日当天芝加哥市中心附近高地公园(Highland Park)传出连环枪响,酿成6死、逾30人受伤。《纽时》报导罹难者包括76岁男子托莱多(Nicolas Toledo),由于行动不便加上狂热的家人们不放过这年度盛会,他只好被迫参加,却不幸遭3枚子弹命中。
Nicolas Toledo, 76, didn’t want to attend the Highland Park July 4th parade, but his disabilities required him to be around someone full-time.

报导指出,高龄76岁的托莱多是一名身障人士,平时需要靠轮椅代步。当天他根本不想参加游行,不过家人不放心留他独自在家,而且没有其他人可以帮忙照顾。加上这家人本身非常狂热于国家庆典,热血程度甚至前一晚就先到现场佔位置。
托莱多的孙女兰格尔(Kimberly Rangel)表示,爷爷坐在家人中间,游行队伍经过时他非常兴奋,还说「享受活在当下的喜悦」。枪击发生时一家人没有意识到发生什么事,还以为是表演的一部分,直到子弹不眨眼的朝他们飞来,「爷爷中弹了,当场鲜血溅到我们身上…」
兰格尔悲恸说道,「我无法相信眼前的一切…一度无法呼吸,实在太可怕了。」
TW: Mass Shooting

We were there. Right there.

We live in Highland Park, IL and today we were in the middle of a murderous attack.

混乱中儿子试图为父亲挡下子弹,手臂因此受伤,送医后并无大碍。死者生前喜欢钓鱼、画画,还有一颗幽默、善良、勇敢的心。「爸爸是我们家族的英雄,他的精神将永远流传下去。」

墨西哥外交部北美地区负责人阿尔瓦雷斯(Roberto Velasco Álvarez)表示,周一芝加哥郊区游行6名罹难者中,其中1名为墨西哥人,目前尚无法证实是否为托莱多先生。
根据托莱多的家属表示,年迈父亲拥有双重国籍,一生来回美、墨两地生活,几年前才搬回芝加哥郊区高地公园市与家人同住。遗孀表示,「儿子们想让他过上好生活,一家人住在一起可以好好孝顺他,遗憾悲剧夺走了幸福…」
