US July 4 parade shooting suspect charged with seven murder counts

 

A 21-year-old man who allegedly opened fire on a July 4 parade in a wealthy Chicago suburb while disguised in women's clothing was charged with seven counts of first-degree murder on Tuesday, prosecutors said.

Robert Crimo, 21, was arrested on Monday, several hours after the attack on a festive Independence Day crowd.

"There will be more charges," Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart told reporters. "We anticipate dozens of more charges centered around each of the victims."

Police spokesman Christopher Covelli said the death toll rose to seven on Tuesday after one of the wounded victims died in hospital. More than 35 people were injured.
Among the dead were Kevin McCarthy, 37 and his wife, Irina, 35 -- the parents of a two-year-old boy who was found wandering alone after the shooting, according to CBS News.
Covelli said no motive had been established for the attack, which sent panicked parade-goers fleeing for their lives.

Chinese journalist, who wept on air over Shinzo Abe's death, attempts suicide after being cyber-bullied

  A Chinese journalist allegedly tried to kill herself after she received an onslaught of criticism from Chinese nationals for an emotional reportage on the killing of Shinzo Abe. The journalist, Zeng Ying, was brutally trolled by Chinese netizens for sobbing while reporting live on Shinzo Abe’s assassination earlier this month. Many Chinese netizens thought Ying showing emotions on her live stream for Shanghai’s online media outlet The Paper was “unprofessional” and “unpatriotic”, according to a report by the Independent. She was criticized for not considering the stance of the Chinese people regarding Abe’s controversial political legacy.
