LAKE COUNTY, Ill. — The Highland Park Fourth of July gunman confessed to cops that he slaughtered innocent parade-goers — and that he “seriously contemplated” shooting up another celebration later, officials said Wednesday.

Robert E. “Bobby” Crimo III, 21, had another rifle and approximately 60 rounds on him when he fled Highland Park after killing seven innocent people and injuring more than 40 others at a parade Monday, authorities said.

Dressed as a woman to aid his escape in the crowd, Crimo then allegedly drove toward the Madison, Wisc., area in his mother’s car. But he eventually returned to Illinois, where he was nabbed later that day, after deciding he wasn’t fully prepared to pull off the second shooting, according to authorities.
==========================================================

Why? Was he out of lipstick or mascara?
 
Some pertinent facts:
  • Reports of the suspect’s past encounters with police raised questions about how he purchased five firearms. In one of two visits in 2019, officers confiscated knives and a sword from Crimo’s residence after a family member reported that he threatened to “kill everyone.”
  • Crimo’s father sponsored his application for a firearm owner’s identification card in 2019, months after a family member reported to police that Crimo had threatened to “kill everyone,” Illinois State Police said.



But, y'know, people who want stricter gun control to keep guns out of peoples' hands who shouldn't have them are really just plotting to get rid of the 2nd and take all the guns, or something.

The gun lobby could not buy this kind of advertising.

His mother was an "energy healer" and the shooter dresses up as a woman.
