A dedicated synagogue worker. A grandfather watching Fourth of July festivities from his wheelchair. These are the victims of a shooting in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, where celebrations were shattered as a gunman opened fire at a parade, killing seven people and injuring at least two dozen others.

Five victims, all adults, were killed along the parade route Monday, and another victim died at the hospital, according to Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek. A seventh person died Tuesday, Lake County Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli confirmed to USA TODAY.

The Lake County Coroner's office released the names of six of the seven victims, ages ranging from 35 to 88, Tuesday afternoon.
