Robert E. Crimo III, who was ordered held without bond Wednesday
on seven counts of first-degree murder, had about 60 rounds of
ammunition in his car, Lake County Major Crimes Task Force
spokesperson Chris Covelli said.
"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," Covelli said.
"We don't have information to suggest he planned to drive to
Madison initially to commit another attack. We do believe he was
driving around following the first attack and saw the
celebration."
Crimo faces additional charges in the mass shooting, which sent
more than 30 people to the hospital. Covelli said Wednesday that
authorities still aren't clear on the motive even though Crimo
has talked to investigators.
“I don't want to go specifically into what he told
investigators, however, he had some type of affinity towards the
number four and seven and inverse was seven, four,” the deputy
chief said. According to Covelli, the shooter's affinity “comes
from music that he's interested in.”
