Robert E Crimo III faces seven counts of murder in the shooting in the Chicago, Illinois suburb of Highland Park, and news of the confession — which was reported by the Lake County state’s attorney — came as he appeared in court. The state’s attorney said Crimo admitted to dressing up as a woman to join the crowd before climbing onto the roof, taking in his sights and firing into the street with a Smith and Wesson semi-automatic rifle. It was also revealed that Crimo had considered a second shot at Madison, Wisconsin, but – despite 60 laps remaining – hadn’t planned it, so it didn’t go ahead. Krimo, 21, had planned the attack in Chicago for several weeks, police said, and allegedly climbed a fire escape onto the roof of a business before opening fire on the crowd. In court, Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Ben Dillon told the court that the suspect left 83 bullet casings and three magazines of ammunition on the roof. If convicted of the murder charges, Crimo faces life in prison without the possibility of parole, and prosecutors have already said “dozens” of other charges are expected to follow. On Wednesday, Crimo appeared in court via video link for a bail hearing before Judge Theodore Potkonjak.

The judge ordered that Crimo not be held, saying, “He does, in fact, pose a specific and present threat to the community.” Read more: July 4th shooting suspect’s strange and violent online trail Among those killed in Monday’s attack were Nicolas Toledo, a grandfather from Mexico in his 70s, and Jackie Sandheim, a teacher at a nearby synagogue. It came just weeks after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and 10 people were killed in a shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. There have been 15 shootings this year in which four or more people have been killed, according to a database maintained by the Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University.
