A Highland Park mother is reflecting on what she endured after being shot twice in front of her young boys at the Fourth of July parade shooting last year.
Lauren Bennett was one of the first victims of the Highland Park shooting. Her mother was also wounded.
Lauren Bennett lined the parade route with her husband and their young sons--bracing for a fun-filled holiday. "We found towels and blankets in the car," Bennett said. "We were holding the wounds. My mother-in-law was there too. She'd been shot in the arm. My husband was driving as fast as he could." "I should not be sitting here as a survivor from a mass shooting with wounds all over my body, from an assault rifle. But it happened, so I'm going to pull up my boot straps and I'm going to speak to the world and let them know that there's a threat out there. We could do something. We could make the world better."
