Suspect in Highland Park shooting confessed, prosecutor says

The man charged with killing seven people when he unleashed a hail of bullets on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago confessed to police that he fired on the crowd, a prosecutor says.

An Illinois judge orders that Robert E. Crimo III, the suspected gunman, be held without bail.

Police found the shells of 83 bullets and three ammunition magazines on the rooftop that he fired from, Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Ben Dillon says.
