well, his statement was voluntary. he was questioned in the highland park police department. he was read his miranda warnings, offered attorneys, et cetera. he went into details about what he had done. he admitted to what he had done. the prosecutor also says the suspect was considering another mass shooting. after fleeing the scene in highland park at yet another fourth of july celebration, this one in madison, wisconsin. investigators did develop some information that it appears when he drove to madison, he was driving around. however, he did see a celebration that was occurring in madison, and he seriously contemplated using the firearm he had in his vehicle to commit another shooting in madison. cnn s josh campbell was at that news conference. one of the most maddening things is once again there were all sorts of red flags about this suspect that we re learning about well before monday s attack including a threat to kill other people, and yet he was able to buy gu
his threat to authorities, who sent him to the emergency room for a psychiatric evaluation. he was there for just 20 hours, we wrote later in his diary, i got outed because i stuck with the story that i was getting out of class and i stupidly wrote that down. that is the reason i believe i am so able to purchase guns. but he was lying. s intention to commit mass murder as he later wrote, not a joke, i wrote that down because that is what i was planning to do. and he was. he was mentally ill come his classmates knew that, he made for strange face facial expressions pay last year he showed up to school for a full week wearing a hazmat suit. boots, gloves, everything, recalled another student beard police and school administrators understood perfectly well that gendron was financially dangerous. that is why they sent him to the psych ward. even his own parents must have known something is very wrong. jesse: anyone s diary describes how his mother helped him bury a cat he
