The man charged with killing seven people at a Fourth of July parade in suburban Chicago confessed to police that he unleashed a hail of bullets from a rooftop and then fled to a neighbouring state, where he contemplated shooting up an event there, authorities said Wednesday.
The gunman turned back to Illinois, where he was later arrested, after deciding he was not prepared to pull off a shooting in the Madison area of Wisconsin, Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesperson Christopher Covelli said at a news conference following a bond hearing.
An Illinois judge ordered that the suspect be held without bail.
