Dad dies shielding 2-year-old son from gunman's bullets

By his father's final act of heroism, Aiden McCarthy survived the carnage at a July Fourth parade in suburban Chicago. But the 2-year-old now is left to grow up without either of his parents -- an orphan of America's bane of mass shootings. Kevin McCarthy, 37, and his wife, Irina, 35, were among seven people who died following an explosion of bullets Monday from a rooftop into a holiday crowd in Highland Park, Illinois, the Lake County Coroner's Office has said. Nearly 40 others were injured. #AdrienneBroaddus #erinburnettoutfront #highlandpark
