The gunman accused of attacking a July 4 Independence Day parade has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder. The suspect, 21-year-old Robert E Crimo III, would face a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted, Illinois state attorney Eric Reinhart said.
Mr Rinehart said dozens more charges would be sought and that the suspect, if convicted of murder, would receive a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole. Authorities said Crimo had planned the attack for weeks and had come to authorities’ attention at least twice before on reports that he threatened suicide or harm to others.
