Robert Crimo, the young man accused of attacking a July 4 parade in the Chicago suburbs has been charged with seven counts of first degree murder.

Barely 24 hours after authorites announced they had arrested the 21-year-old, who allegedly attacked the parade at Highland Park with a high-powered rifle, they said the seven charges were likely only the first, and that more could follow. If convicted, it will lead to a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
