(by Benedetta Guerrera) (ANSA) – WASHINGTON, 04 JUL – After an eight-hour manhunt, the police arrested the 22-year-old young man suspected of having opened fire on a 4th July parade on the outskirts of Chicago killing six people and injuring 31.
Robert Crimo, whom the authorities have not yet officially defined the perpetrator of the massacre, was stopped while he was driving his car in the Lake Forest area, north of the Illinois metropolis, and was immediately taken to the central for be questioned.
At the moment we only know what appears on social media: rapper with the pseudonym Awake, several tattoos on his face and neck, a resident of the city where he probably committed his massacre. In a photo of his Facebook profile, now obscured but relaunched by many Twitter users, the young man appears with a helmet and a small camera on his head and his face covered. Also on his page appears an image of a demonstration of the Patriot Front, a white supremacist organization.
The parade in Highland Park had just begun, about ten minutes, when the killer opened fire on the thousands of people who were enjoying a day of joy and relaxation with the family. He fired from the roof of a building and used a rifle, which was later found by officers.
Joe Biden and his wife Jill said they were “shocked” by yet another episode of “senseless violence”. During the celebrations at the White House for the independence day, the American president asked for a minute of silence for the victims and assured that he will continue to fight against weapons.
