Police seeking clues for a possible motivation combed through the social media profile and published songs of the alleged attacker in the shooting that left at least seven dead and 30 wounded in a Chicago suburb on the Fourth of July.
Robert Crimo, 21, was detained hours after the shooting Monday as a person of interest in the case, said the police chief of Highland Park, Illinois. Investigators have stopped short of calling Crimo a suspect, but on Tuesday they described finding evidence that he disguised himself in “women’s clothing” to avoid being captured after he fired a high-powered rifle styled in the fashion of an AR-15 at strangers more than 70 times.
