Because to right-wing media, shooting 30 people is about the wig-hat rather than the trumpist LARPing, the disinformation spin continues. Pay attention; other issues are more relevant. Two rifles were purchased legally in IL and might not have been affected even by the new gun laws. Disguises are only one small detail, as relevant as the shooter’s potential hatred of Klezmer bands.
The shooter who allegedly opened fire on the Highland Park Fourth of July parade was dressed in women’s clothing to disguise himself and aid his escape, police said Tuesday.
Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III, 21, is accused of killing 6 innocent parade-goers and injuring at least 30 others after he allegedly climbed onto the roof of a business in the wealthy Chicago suburb on Monday and fired off 70 rounds from a high-powered rifle.
He then ditched the legally purchased weapon on the roof so he could blend in with the crowd as he fled during the chaos, Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli told a news briefing.
“Crimo was dressed in women’s clothing and investigators do believe he did this to conceal his facial tattoos and his identity,” Covelli said. “He was seen on video camera in women’s clothing.”
He may have even donned a hairpiece to complete his disguise, authorities said.
“A wig is not out of the question,” Covelli said.

Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said the man, Robert E. Crimo III, who had not yet been charged as of midday Tuesday, appeared to have legally purchased in Illinois the rifle used in the attack. Mr. Crimo had another rifle, apparently also bought legally, in the car with him when he was taken into custody on Monday evening, about eight hours after the attack, the chief said.

x Highland Park suspect was planning his attack for weeks. "There were some law enforcement contacts," we now know. Planning, time, hints, encounters and a gun purchased lawfully. Here's the data that shows that red flag laws actually work. @markfollman
