"I think it’s senseless, I think it’s unnecessary. I think the city is moving in a positive light, and to have something like this happen on such a beautiful day – it’s horrible," said Khursheed Ash-Shaffi, a Highland Park City Council member. "I was hoping that this summer we could move away from such activities in the city of Highland Park. This is news and publicity that we really don’t need."
