Highland Park mass shooting suspect charged with 117 felony crimes

The man accused of opening fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago, killing seven, has been indicted by a grand jury on 117 felony charges.

The indictment included 21 first-degree murder counts, 48 counts of attempted murder and 48 counts of aggravated battery, representing the seven people killed and dozens wounded in the attack on the Fourth of July event in Highland Park, Illinois.

Attorneys for Crimo have not made a formal response to any charges.

Prosecutors have said Crimo, 21, admitted to the shooting when police arrested him following an hours-long search on the day.

Authorities have said the more than 30 wounded in the attack, in addition to those killed, range in age from eight to their 80s, including an eight-year-old boy who was paralyzed from the waist down when the shooting severed his spine.
