A resolution expressing condolences of the Senate and honoring the memory of the victims on the third anniversary of the mass shooting at the Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, on July 4, 2022.
This Senate resolution (S. Res. 316) honors the memory of seven people who were killed and acknowledges the 48 others who were injured in the Highland Park mass shooting that occurred during the July 4, 2022 parade. Introduced by Senator Durbin on behalf of himself and Senator Duckworth (July 8, 2025) and referred to the Judiciary Committee, the measure expresses condolences to the victims’ families, honors the victims’ lives, and reaffirms support for those injured or traumatized by the event. It also publicly commends the law enforcement, medical, and emergency responders who responded, and it stands in solidarity with gun-violence victims nationwide. As a non-binding symbolic resolution, its primary effect is moral and commemorative rather than legislative or funding-related.
