Police Investigation Finds Potential Weapon Linked To Highland Park Shooting



Police in Highland Park had a major break in the investigation discovering a high-powered rifle apparently used in the shooting and left behind when the attacker fled. Investigators checked for fingerprints, and ATF agents launched an immediate trace, based on the unique serial number on the firearm. Police from Chicago and other communities rushed in to help, along with federal agents, who joined hundreds of officers in an intensive search. Police in Highland Park tonight say they will not speculate on a motive at such an early stage of the investigation.

  1. Motive? "Crazy doesn't need a reason."
    Chris Rock

  2. My cousin is mentally handicapped. Saddled with Vitiligo, born with male & female genitals in Wyoming. Got thru third grade & reads very simple constructs do to poor vision.  I’m going to help him run for some GOP position in Georgia.  I heard he may have a chance if I get him a
    red cap or a plastic AR-15 for his campaign poster.  Come on Trump, giv’m a shot. He’s loyal . I wrote your name on a sticky note pinned to his shirt. P.S. he can also climb a peach tree while carrying a dish of cold soup. A simple mind for a simple solution: “less guns”, he’d say.

  3. The lord will be back very very soon

  4. 🚫PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPORT CRIMINALS or possible SHOOTERS to POLICE: 🚫
    REPORTING criminal activity to the police will land the callers in court with a criminal charge, and flat broke: (Maybe even jail)
    Callers reporting criminal activity will receive a ticket (Criminal Offense) and court date through the mail for falsely reporting crimes transferring the legal burden of proof and legal costs upon unsuspecting callers! (Police don't want to be bothered!)
    Oakland County Sheriff Deputy MATT MATCHETT #2366 and Wayne County DPD Gerald Beckem #3798 are obsessed with this dishonorable evil ploy of forcing innocent taxpayers to act as state prosecutors!
    REPORTING CRIME IS FAR TOO COSTLY FOR THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER!
    CAVEAT: (Police serve and protect the state, not the people!)
    QUALIFIED IMMUNITY MUST BE ABOLISHED FROM THE POLICE FOR ACCOUNTABILITY!
    – Michael B. Saari for State Senate 2022

  5. In my DJ khaled voice another one…

  6. How the police can take a white mass shooter into custody without incident,but unarmed black men gets killed in traffic stops for just moving…

  7. Great America ,yeah we all have right to bear an harm ,VERY HEARTBREAKING

  8. All because of Republicans. Politicians and they're followers need to be held accountable. Conservatives and the religious right need to pay…..

  9. Nothing new here…. easy access to guns , rifles….. means mass shooting here there ..every now and then…..better get used to…

  10. Almost all of the 300 mass shootings are gang on gang violence

  11. The tenuous smile steadily concentrate because monday phenotypically measure qua a nappy encyclopedia. impossible, crazy airbus

  12. As a true progressive, I bet the maniac is a white supremist Maga supporter and I'm Joe Bye-Den and I approve this message

  13. I wonder how certain the police are that they caught the right guy.
    Because his easy arrest so closeby (only a few miles after 8 hours), doesnt really fit with what you normally see.

  14. Ignore the real story , AS USUAL, NBC .

    This Bobby the 3rd is the poster boy for mental illness.
    His family ignored and denied it.
    His liberal Democratic Community ignored it.
    His US Senator and Governor flat out skip over the obvious to blame a firearm.

    Highland Park Illinois had the Frankenstein monster openly walking the streets for years , but the liberal mindset of the Community and State made the citizens and officals stay silent.

    Mental illness is real and not to be ignored.

  15. According to his Facebook post the shooter was an ardent ANTIFA member.

  16. Media is always quick to jump on what the weapon was when it is an AR-15. This article, even though he potential weapon is shown in the headline, does not say a single word about what the weapon was.
    Is that because the weapon doesn’t fit the media’s agenda??

  17. Breaking News: White Man kills again and is able to walk away in handcuffs. Black shot down like a rabid dog for running. Breaking News: The White Man is Supreme he can whenever he want too, because the Laws are only written to protect the White Man. Thats Breaking News!!!

  18. False flag operation to shift attention from Joe Bidens corrupt failed presidency if the shooter was black this wouldnt be on the news!!!!

  19. Trump will probably hire him to work with Kyle Rittenhouse on his upcoming Presidential run.

  20. Well, the title was completely misleading. No mention of the weapon whatsoever

  21. Take his parents to prison!! Type of vehicle hasn't made them illegal when they are used in crimes. Get a grip. Biased media is pushing the type of weapon used more than the lives lost.

  22. MAGA the most dangerous terrorist organization in the United States

  23. Despite the headline of this article, Lester Holt's report said nothing about the weapon. Apparently no connection has been established yet between the rifle found at the scene and the suspect.

  24. Makes on wonder how many psycho drugs he was on during his school years.

  25. As long as assault rifles are legally sold to the public, massacres will remain uncontrollable. It's really a question when people of power will step to plate to ban these weapons of wars. Until then, simmer down, pucker up, and watch the freak show before us.

  26. Rapper “Awake”? More like the rapper “Dead”.

  27. 1. Raise the age to own a gun to 25 years old.
    2. Psychologically test all gun owners every 2 years.
    3. Stop the selling of Machine guns, ARs and any Heavy weaponry effective immediately.
    4. Have a national FBI database inventory of who owns guns.
    5. Pass into law a cease and decist order against all ARs, machine guns, and any heavy weaponry, making them retroactively illegal to own.
    6. Have a good gun buy back program to incentivize people to desist of owning a hand gun or shotgun.

    Some of my ideas into this problem, too many craziest out there. 👎🏻

  28. denmark mall shoo ting with 3 kil led and 3 seriously injured…

    a merican: hold my beer… well, a merican teens are not allowed to buy a beer, but its legal for them to buy an assault rifle…

  29. When a righteous man like president Trump is in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man like Biden rules, the people groan. Mass shootings are the direct result of the man in the white house.

  30. Taken into custody without getting shot
    ……..yeah…..we know why.

  31. What kind of high-powered rifle was it?

  32. Republicans- more guns for everyone

  33. Americans killing other Americans once again. America is at War with itself.

  34. Man said also known as the rapper, “Awake”. 🤣🤣🤣

  35. 300 million people running around with their own personal video camera and there's no footage?

  36. Waste of time watching this. No information that title suggests.

  37. I just will never understand how terrible a person's life can be where they feel like they want to destroy other lives. My deepest condolences to all the families 🙏

  38. Recent shootings in Norway
    Then Denmark
    NoW in the 🇺🇸
    SHOOTINGS IN AMERICA ARE NOW PART OF OUR TRADITIONS

  39. Ephesians 1:18- I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, . . .

    Psalm 13:3- . . . Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

    Proverbs 20:13- Do not love sleep, or you will become poor; Open your eyes, . . .

    Proverbs 6:9- How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?

    Proverbs 19:15- Laziness casts into a deep sleep, . . .

  40. Confiscate the guns!!
    Just kidding.. I'm going shopping for more in the morning. 💋

  41. APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 6📜✍️
    JOHN CHAPTER 10 VERSE 10📜✍️
    APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 12/12📜✍️

  42. Why uniform officers never shoot white men who commit mass murders??? Only black men who are running from them? Can someone please answer????
