CHICAGO — A federal search warrant unsealed Thursday shows agents found “bomb-making materials” in the apartment of Highland Park massacre suspect Robert Crimo III, including a remote initiator, jugs with ammunition and boxes of Tannerite, a commercial component used for exploding targets.
The warrant, filed in U.S. District Court just days after the Fourth of July parade attack that killed seven people, stated agents also found electrical components, a timer and electric matches in a bedroom at Crimo’s home.
Crimo allegedly told agents the explosive devices were “too heavy to carry to the parade, but he considered using them if the opportunity arose,” according to an affidavit from an FBI agent attached to the warrant.
