The parents of a 2-year-old child have been killed in yet another mass shooting.
37-year-old Kevin McCarthy and 35-year-old Irina McCarthy were tragically gunned down at a 4th of July parade on Monday in Illinois. The 21-year-old gunman reportedly used an assault rifle to open fire on the unsuspecting crowd, killing 7 people in total and injuring at least 30. The shooter fired off somewhere around 70 rounds.
Almost every week a new mass shooting takes place… But it’s America, right? Home of the brave and land of the place where abortions were outlawed before assault rifles.
Kevin and Irina’s 2-year-old son Aiden was seemingly separated from his parents when all of the chaos ensued, but another couple reportedly found him and brought him to a local fire station. Luckily he was unharmed, and from there the young boy was able to be reunited with his grandparents at a nearby hospital.
It’s instances like this that remind us there’s still some good in humanity, it just sucks that it’s always overshadowed by such terrible things.

Irina’s father Michael Levberg told the Chicago Sun-Times that Kevin lost his life while protecting his son:
A parent would do anything for their child, but this just shows what a good man Kevin was.
He added:
The heartbreak continued as Michael further explained Aiden didn’t quite understand everything that had happened, explaining that the toddler told him:
Ugh! What an awful start to this young boy’s life, having his parents yanked away from him.
