A suspect was taken into custody in connection with a Fourth of July parade shooting which left six people dead and dozens more injured. On Monday, the Highland Park Police Department announced that officers arrested Bobby Crimo III after a brief pursuit on a local highway.


“On a day that we came together to celebrate co*munity and freedom we are instead mourning a tragic loss of life and struggling with the terror that was brought upon us,” voiced Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering.




Police said the gunman opened fire from the roof top of a high-rise building just as the parade kicked off on Monday morning in downtown Highland Park, north of Chicago.


“People started saying ‘There’s a shooter, there’s a shooter, there’s a shooter,’” resident Debbie Glickman said. “So we just ran. We just ran. It’s like mass chaos down there.”




Crimo previously recorded rap songs with lyrics and visual imagery highly suggestive of mental instability and violent tendencies.


All Independence Day celebrations were been canceled in the city and surrounding areas. The attack is just the latest in a wave of public shootings to hit the US in recent weeks, including a mass shooting in a school in Texas and a racially motivated massacre in Buffalo, New York.


Authorities said the shooting appeared to be random and not targeted.
