The man arrested in the July 4 mass shooting in Illinois confessed after being arrested, authorities said on July 6.
Robert Crimo III also contemplated firing on another Independence Day celebration in an adjoining state but ultimately decided not to do so because he felt he wasn’t prepared enough, according to officials.
