Robert Crimo, the suspect involved in the Highland Park parade shooting has finally been arrested, authorities said.
The incident reportedly happened minutes after the festivities started at 10 a.m. on Monday.
Witnesses claimed to see the gunman, describing him as being on the roof of Uncle Dan’s Camping and Travel at 621 Central Avenue, according to The Lake & McHenry County Scanner, writing before Crimo was identified as a “person of interest.”
Early Monday evening, the Highland Park Police Department identified 22-year-old Robert Crimo III as a “person of interest” in the attack.
Authorities later announced that he is in custody.

Robert Crimo was believed to be driving a 2010 Silver Honda Fit bearing Illinois license plate DM 80653, authorities said during the search.
Robert Crimo III was intercepted by cops in North Lake Forest, Chicago, after 7pm local time Monday evening when cops saw the silver Honda Fit he was last seen driving.
There was a brief pursuit, but the vehicle was stopped at Westleigh Road and Route 41 in Lake Forest.
Dramatic photographs from the scene show the suspected mass-murderer – who posted creepy clips about shooting massacres online – being pinned to the ground face-down by police.
