The mass shooter who murdered seven people at a July 4 parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park pleaded guilty to the killings on Monday.
Robert Crimo, 23, withdrew his earlier not-guilty plea in a Lake County circuit courtroom; he admitted to killing seven people and injuring dozens more when he opened fire on a 2022 Independence Day parade in the Chicago suburb.
It was a stunning development moments before opening arguments in his trial on charges of murder and attempted murder.
