Chicago White Sox cancel postgame fireworks show after mass shooting at July 4 parade in Highland Park

The Chicago White Sox canceled their postgame fireworks celebration on Monday in the wake of a mass shooting at an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago that left at least six people dead and wounded 24 others.

A moment of silence will be held before the start of Chicago's game against Minnesota, which will proceed as scheduled at 7:10 p.m. CT from Guaranteed Rate Field.

"Our hearts are with the Highland Park community. The entire Chicago White Sox organization expresses our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the innocent victims of today's horrific shooting and all of those who have been affected by this tragedy," the team said in a statement.
