Police in the Chicago-area suburb of Highland Park said the suspect in Monday’s mass shooting that left seven dead wore women’s clothing to blend into a crowd after the incident while revealing that he plotted the attack for weeks.

Authorities detained Robert Crimo III, 22, as the prime person of interest in the shooting at a Fourth of July parade, which left seven people dead.
