THEY HELPED PEOPLE DURING THE HIGHLAND PARK SHOOTING. BUT THEY DON’T WANT
PRAISE: ‘I DID WHAT ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE DONE.’

with the aftermath of the Fourth of July Parade shooting in Highland Park.

When Lindsay Meltzer ushered approximately 100 people into the basement of
Bright Bowls — the business she has operated on Central Avenue — to escape a
gunman in downtown Highland Park on July 4, she did not think she was doing
anything special.

“I did what anyone else would have done,” Meltzer said.

Lucy Pinkwater, a teacher in Los Angeles and a Highland Park High School
classmate of Meltzer, did not think getting young children into a circle to calm
them after they fled the shooter was an extraordinary act, either.
