Gunfire claimed the life of Reginald Meadows – a 31-year-old father from Willowbrook – and left at least 22 others hurt early Sunday morning.
"No permit came through our committee for approval," said DuPage County Board Commissioner Brian Krajewski .
He said there is a permitting process in place for special events like the Juneteenth party where the shooting happened — and it would have been required in this case, because the parking lot was not zoned for a such a party. "They would let their - at roll call – their PD know: 'Hey, there's this big event going on. There's, you know, x amount of people going to be there,'" Krajewski said."It's ultimately our decision as a board whether to issue a permit or not."
