Highland Park, rich area North of Chicago, considered safe. Rooftop shooter. 18 wounded.

Left rifle on roof, so he could easily escape undetected.
White 18 to 22 yo male.

Highland Park has the strictest gun laws in the State. Very liberal.

Horrible.

RIP

The police spokesperson just said it was a "high powered rifle" so not an AR-15

Police have identified a person of interest.

I have posted another photo. He is a “rapper”. 100,000 followers on Spotify what ever that is.

Has a face tattoo.

I would say he is the guy just by looking at him.

They said slight build, he sure fits that from the size of his neck.

Oh I guess the woke crowd will not be happy about this other photo of him.

Victims range in age from 8 to 85.

Everyone a patriot.

RIP.

My word! Everything about that picture says, "I am a lunatic".

Oh great!

Photos of him at a Trump rally and the back the Blue rally.

He had a manifesto.

Created a non profit corporation- anti immigration.

Photo says the "nonprofit" ACTAFO is fictional. HE looks fictional. Or is it "they"? Is they gender fluid? I would say from the little we know so far that his/her/their/its attorney is going to have a really good chance at an insanity plea.

I think I was born a few decades too late. I simply don't recognize the direction our country is headed...

You can see the Trump flag behind him.

Photos show a really nice looking family. Dad owns a sandwich shop.

Just horrible.

Nothing against you, Philip964, but the phrase in red has always bothered me, especially when we say the person is in custody. I fully understand that a person can be of interest to the police in reference to a crime without being a suspect. In the beginning stages of any investigation, we get a lot of people who may or may not have anything to do with the crime but that the police would like to talk to. These are "people of interest". The media has been using the term to avoid getting sued for libel by calling someone a suspect.

But when a person is under arrest (in custody), they are no longer of interest, they are suspects. We do not arrest people just because they might have some information we want to know. We arrest them because we have probable cause to believe they committed the crime.

My other pet peeve on this was not used this time. We do not arrest people on suspicion of anything. We arrest them on charges that they committed a specific crime. This is not suspicion, it is an accusation based on probable cause.

No cops on the roofs above the parade? WHY?

No cops on the roofs above the parade? WHY?

I am no cop but is it considered standard practice for every small town parade to have cops taking rooftop positions? Maybe it should be now but something in our society has gone off the rails. These kinds of crimes are all being committed by the video game/time out generation. These people, every one of them, grew up playing violent video games, watching murder death kill gangsta rap and a level of violence in movies that would have all been rated X when I was a youngster. We have now officially raised a complete generation from birth to adulthood who have been conditioned and trained to kill with no remorse by video game training. The one thing all these murdering youth have in common. None of them respect life. It as if they are simply playing out scenario's from a video game.

Lord have mercy! That dude makes for one ugly woman! Not just that but apparently he had at least one run in with the law after saying he wanted to kill EVERYONE! Not only did the ban fail to prevent this, their red flag laws were worthless as well.

Link to news story where he wanted to kill his whole family in 2019 and amassed a large collection of knives.

Had two interactions with police.

Says AR15 style rifle.

Boy Scout at one time.

Dad was pro 2nd Amendment.

It looks like someone turned him in to police as they were immediately looking for him and his moms car.

Red flag law I believe in this town.
