(Chicago = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kim Hyun = The suspect accused of opening a gun at the audience of the Independence Day parade in a suburb of Chicago on the 4th (local time), the American Independence Day, was found to have been meticulously planned for several weeks.
In addition, at the time of the crime, the suspect indiscriminately fired more than 70 rounds at the crowd at the parade venue, and it was determined that the gun used in the crime was legally purchased in the Chicago area.
In particular, it was confirmed that after the crime, he showed meticulousness by leaving the gun at the scene and disguising himself as a woman to avoid police crackdowns.
Lake County’s ‘Major Crimes Task Force’, which is investigating the massacre that took place the day before in Highland Park, a suburb of Chicago, said this through a briefing on the 5th.
TF spokesman Chris Corbelli said at a briefing on the same day that the suspect, 21-year-old Robert Cremo III, was found to have carefully planned the crime several weeks in advance.
In addition, at the time of the incident, King Cremo III climbed up an emergency ladder on the roof of a building near the parade site and fired more than 70 rounds at the parade site crowd with an AR-15 rifle. .
“After the crime, King Cremo III disguised himself as a woman and left the building after the crime,” said Kobeli. “He said.
At the time of his arrest, Cremo III was in possession of another high-powered firearm, which was also obtained legally from a Chicago area firearms dealer, Kobelli added.
When asked if the suspect, King Cremo III, was targeting the Jewish people, who make up the majority of Highland Park residents, a spokesperson for Kobelli said, “It appears to be indiscriminate shooting and there is no indication that it targeted a specific group.”
Investigative authorities continue to investigate the motives of the crime, considering Cremo III as the sole criminal.
Meanwhile, there were additional deaths in the massacre, raising the total number of victims to seven and injuring more than 30.
