Six people were killed and at least two dozen injured during a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park on Sunday.
“What happened today in Highland Park was horrifying and senseless,” the Bulls’ statement began. “Over the years, Highland Park has been home to many members of Bulls nation, including a number of Bulls players and staff. Our connection with the community is personal, and it holds a particularly special place in our hearts. We are grieving with the community and everyone affected, and we support them as we all mourn this tragedy.
“Gun violence inflicts pain on our friends, neighbors, families, businesses, and communities,” the statement continued. “This situation is one that we’ve been in too many times, saying what feels like the same words and expressing the same sentiments. The Chicago Bulls are committed to change and using the resources in our power to make a different and help solve this epidemic of gun violence.”
The Bulls aren’t just talking the talk here. They walk the walk too, joining forces in 2017 with the Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox to form the Chicago Sports Alliance.
