Authorities have released a photo that shows the gun that was found inside the suspected Highland Park parade shooter's vehicle after he was arrested Monday.
The weapon found in the vehicle was different from the firearm used in the parade shooting. The gun that was used to shoot dozens of people on the Fourth of July was a Smith & Wesson M&P15 semiautomatic rifle, which, according to the manufacturer, is an AR-15 style weapon whose initials stand for military and police.
Monday morning as bands played and floats rolled along the downtown streets of the idyllic north suburb., authorities said he fired a 30-round magazine, then fired two more. In all, police found 83 shell casings. The Highland Park police seized knives from the home, but Crimo’s father said they were his weapons, and the knives were returned, the state police said.
