Police: July 4 parade shooting suspect traveled to Madison area [View all]

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - The suspected gunman who attacked an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago, killing at least seven people, traveled to the Madison area before turning around and going back to Illinois, authorities confirmed during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

Task force spokesman Christopher Covelli said officials could not get into how they knew that he had traveled to Wisconsin before turning around and driving back to Illinois. Police did not provide a timeline of when the alleged shooter was in Wisconsin. According to NBC5 Investigates in Chicago, the suspect took his phone to Madison and dumped it there to throw off authorities. Madison Police Department spokesperson Stephanie Fryer said that the FBI was in contact with local police regarding the Highland Park shooting.

The suspected shooter, who was arrested late Monday, used a high-powered rifle “similar to an AR-15″ to spray bullets from atop a commercial building into a crowd that had gathered for the parade in Highland Park. The affluent community of about 30,000 on the Lake Michigan shore includes mansions and sprawling waterfront estates.

Authorities also reported the death of a seventh person Tuesday. More than 30 others were wounded in the attack, which Covelli said the suspect had planned for several weeks.
