it was because of his time in the military. that s what it sounded like. the street behind me frozen in time, you can still see the chairs strewn about, the beach chairs where people were lined up for this moment of celebration for july 4th, left where they were, as people fled the scene in terror. the rifle, a rifle was discovered soon after the shooting on the rooftop. we have some new information about that rifle, which we ll bring to you in just a moment. the shooter himself, who the police are calling a person of interest to be clear, that s what i should call him, they obtained or apprehended a person of interest eight hours after the shooting, after a short chase. one policeman saw the suspect and then called for backup, he was apprehended, taken into custody on the street. one of our reporters was there, you ll hear from him in just a moment as well. again, the scene as it unfolded here was a pure moment of terror. earlier this morning, i had a chance to speak to a co
now in custody. police called the attack random and intentional. it is difficult, but important to hear the moment that gunfire erupted to begin to understand the terror that people faced. i ll warn you, the video we re about to see is disturbing. lord help us. personally i witnessed bursts of gunfire like that before, but only from u.s. military firing positions, while embedded with u.s. forces in iraq and afghanistan. that was on an american street. yeah. and those bullets left a number injured as we mentioned, and dead. the injured ranging in age from 8 to 85 years old. dr. david baum was there as the gunfire erupted, saw the immediate aftermath, and jumped in to help. the people who were gone were blown up by that gunfire. blown up? blown up. blown up. the horrific scene of some of the bodies is unspeakable for the average person. those are war time injuries. those are what are seen in victims of war, not victims at a parade. now sadly they are seen in victims
was dressed in women s clothing and investigators do believe he did this to conceal the tattoos and the identity and help him in the escape with the other people who were fleeing the chaos. after escaping in his mother s car that man robert primo tracked to lake forest and arrested. he is in custody but not charged. he fits a disturbingly pattern. police say they still don t know why the gunman opened fire on the parade but learning more about the six people killed. among them a 76-year-old grandfather shot three times while sitting in the wheelchair. among the 30 wounded several children, victims as young as 8, as old as 85. while it was the deadliest massacre in highland park this is far from the only shooting on the fourth of july. at least three dozen people shot and killed across the country yesterday. three dozen in mass shootings in at least seven cities leading to this question. is there some way to balance the right to bear arms with the freedom to live without fea
25 of those with gunshot wounds. now, just moments ago as you may have seen police announced they nowha have a suspect. robert bobby crimo iii, age 22. he is believed to be driving a 2010 silver honda fit, described as a white male, approximately 18 to 20 years old, small build, long black hair, wearing a white or blue t-shirt. police also recovered what they believe to be the weapon,po a high-powered rifle. they said the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous. local authorities have beenns holding a press conference just about every n hour. so we expect to hear from them again soon. obviously, the last update signified significant progress in the manhunt investigation. we re going to bring you that conference once it begins. so stand by here. i want to play you some video that appears to show the moment that this all started. i should warn you, of course, it s really ldupsetting video. you will hear gunshots. you will see people fleeing. and it is in fact very dist
entire families and communities in a single moment. and we know it is going to take a long, long time, if ever, to heal. we have to do more to keep our communities safe. we have to get rid of assault weapons, high has passed the magazines, and so many other additional reforms that wide majority of americans are crying out for. i just listen to the sound of that gunfire from one of the videos that was captured. and let me tell you, the last time i heard a weapon with that capacity firing that rapidly on a fourth of july, was iraq. it was not the united states of america. we can and we should and we will do better. if you are angry today, i am here to tell you, be angry. i am furious. i am furious that yet more innocent lives were taken by gun violence. i am furious that their loved ones are forever broken by what
