Robert E. Crimo III will make his initial court appearance Wednesday after being charged with seven counts of murder. More charges are expected.
The man accused of firing a semiautomatic rifle into a Chicago-area Independence Day parade from a rooftop has admitted to authorities that he carried out the attack that killed seven people, a prosecutor said during the suspect's first court appearance on Wednesday, where he was denied release on bail.
Crimo allegedly confessed to his actions while being interviewed by police, and said that he dressed up like a girl and covered his tattoos with make-up because people would recognize him.
