A federal search warrant unsealed Thursday shows agents found “bomb-making materials” in the apartment of Highland Park massacre suspect Robert Crimo III, including a remote initiator, jugs with ammunition and boxes of Tannerite.
The warrant, filed in U.S. District Court just days after the Fourth of July parade attack that killed seven people, stated agents also found electrical components, a timer and electric matches in a bedroom at Crimo’s home.Crimo allegedly told agents the explosive devices were “too heavy to carry to the parade, but he considered using them if the opportunity arose,” according to an affidavit from an FBI agent attached to the warrant.
Later in the interviews, Crimo allegedly told investigators the bomb components “could have been used for an incident, it could have been used but it wasn’t,” according to the affidavit.“It could have been planted if it worked, in theory it could have been planted ... somewhere where it could cause harm,” the affidavit quoted Crimo as saying. “If it worked, I might have planted it early, or I might have just sat down, left the bag there, and walked away.
