Aerial footage shows "suspect" arrested as "person of interest" of Highland Park 4th July shooting

Police arrested a suspect late Monday in a #massshooting that left six people dead at a Fourth of July Independence Day parade in the US state of Illinois.

The #shooting, which took place earlier in the day in the wealthy #Chicagosuburb of #highlandpark , also left at least 24 others wounded.

Highland Park #policechief Lou Jogmen identified the "person of interest" as 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III.

Jogmen said when a #policeofficer tried to “initiate a traffic stop,” Crimo attempted to flee, which was followed by a brief #pursuit.

"Ultimately they were able to get the subject stopped in Lake Forest. The subject was taken into #custody without incident," he told a news conference.

According to The New York Times, the ages of the wounded in the shooting ranged between 8 and 85 years old.

The gunman fired a high-powered #rifle from a roof during the #parade and the firearm has been recovered from the scene, police said in an earlier #pressconference .
