Highland Park shooting: Biden orders flags flown at half-staff

The suspect in the Highland Park, Illinois, mass shooting that left six dead and 30 others injured pre-planned the attack for several weeks including legally purchasing the rifle used in the incident. Robert Crimo, who dressed in women's clothing during the shooting to conceal his identity and make an easy getaway, used a fire escape ladder to climb a business near the parade and unloaded more than 70 rounds into the crowd.

Following the deadly mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, on the Fourth of July, President Joe Biden has ordered all flags to be flown at half-staff on Tuesday to remember the victims,Biden tweeted on Monday calling the mass shooting "senseless" and said he has not given up "fighting the epidemic on gun violence."

"Jill and I are shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community this Independence Day. As always, we are grateful for the first responders and law enforcement on the scene. I will not give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence," the president’s tweet read.

Police declined to immediately identify Crimo as a suspect but said identifying him as a person of interest, sharing his name and other information publicly was a serious step. Charges were expected to be announced soon, according to a spokeswoman for the Lake County state's attorney, Sara Avalos. Since the start of the year, there have been 15 shootings where four or more people have been killed, including the Highland Park one, according to The Associated Press/USA TODAY/Northeastern University mass killing database.
