CHICAGO — A gunman opened fire on the Highland Park Independence Day parade, killing at least six people and wounding more than two dozen others in the latest mass shooting incident to terrorize an American community.
A person of interest had been identified late Monday afternoon, according to Highland Park police Chief Lou Jogman. Authorities were searching for Robert “Bobby” Crimo III, 22, believed to be driving a 2010 silver Honda Fit with license plate No. DM80653.
Officials said Crimo was allegedly the shooter who earlier had been described as a white man between 18 to 20 years old with long black hair, who was last seen wearing a white or blue shirt, and who reportedly opened fire from a rooftop with a high-powered rifle and targeted spectators, according to police. He remained at large as of Monday afternoon.
