US Independence Day parade shooter charged on over 100 counts
TRT World says US authorities indicted the 21-year-old man accused of carrying out a deadly mass shooting at a July 4 parade near Chicago on 117 counts of murder and other charges, according to an official statement.
Robert Crimo, a young man with a history of mental illness, opened fire on an Independence Day parade in an affluent Chicago suburb, killing seven people and injuring dozens more.
The attack was the latest in the wave of gun violence plaguing the United States.
Crimo, who was disguised in women’s clothing during the shooting, was arrested several hours afterwards. He later confessed to the crime and said he was planning another attack.
