In the wake of the devastating mass shooting at the Highland Park Fourth of July parade, authorities have made a shocking discovery. The accused shooter, Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III, 22, was seen searching for photos of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden on his cellphone.
According to sources close to the investigation, Crimo’s phone was found to have a suspicious search history that included multiple queries for images of both Trump and Biden. The motive behind this search remains unclear, but it has raised concerns about the nature of the attack.
The discovery was made during a thorough examination of Crimo’s phone by the FBI, who were investigating the shooter’s digital activities in the days leading up to the violent attack. The agency reportedly found that Crimo had searched for photos of both Trump and Biden on several occasions, with some searches dating back to the weeks leading up to the shooting.
The Highland Park shooting left seven people dead and dozens injured, and it is considered one of the most tragic and devastating mass shootings in US history. The shooter, who was taken into custody after a brief manhunt, was charged with seven counts of first-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder.
The FBI has declined to comment on the specifics of the search, but law enforcement sources have confirmed that the discovery was made during the investigation into the shooting.
While it is unclear what the purpose of the searches was, experts have suggested that it may be a sign of a deeper psychological issue or a motive unrelated to the political beliefs of the victims. “While it is impossible to know the exact motivations behind the shooter’s actions, it is clear that something is deeply wrong,” said Dr. David Holmes, a leading expert in forensic psychology. “The fact that the shooter was searching for photos of Trump and Biden suggests that there may be a deeper psychological issue at play, and we may need to re-examine the way we approach mass violence and its causes.”
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and it is expected to take several weeks to uncover the full extent of the shooter’s motives and actions. In the meantime, the nation continues to mourn the loss of the seven innocent lives that were lost in the attack.
