The man charged with shooting seven people to death and wounding dozens at a Fourth of July parade has confessed to the rampage and considered another attack in Wisconsin, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart said Robert E. Crimo III voluntarily admitted to the shooting to police when he was arrested several hours after the attack.

"He went into details about what he had done," Rinehart said.

No motive has been revealed. Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said that after the shooting Crimo drove to Madison, Wisconsin, about 150 miles northwest of Highland Park, and encountered another holiday event.

"He seriously contemplated using the firearm he had in his vehicle to commit another shooting," Covelli said. But Crimo apparently decided against it because he had not prepared for it, Covelli said. Crimo instead returned to Illinois, where he was captured.

  1. “Crimo legally bought five weapons, including two high-powered rifles used in the shooting.” So now he used two weapons in the shooting, including one that is classified as a pistol? Why has this specific detail–what he used to shoot those people–been so vague?

  2. When he talked about it being one of those things u never think can happen to u…till it does man hit me in the gut. I’m always “prepared” to defend myself myself and family if need be but I also let my guard down alot. Dude I gotta keep it on a swivel as they say alot more often…. Prayers for EVERYONE involved. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
