Highland Park shooter Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo, 21, was dressed in women’s clothing to disguise himself, hiding his tattoos and changing his appearance.

After firing 70 rounds from his legally purchased assault rifle, he ditched his weapon, fled into the crowd, and went to his mom’s house. He managed to evade police for hours by taking his mom’s vehicle and was arrested five miles from the scene.
Crimo is obsessed with the number 47. It is painted on his vehicle and tattooed on his face. “47” was posted across his fan club twitter page.

As of now, FBI Agents have not determined an apparent motive for his crime. He is accused of injuring 30 parade-goers and killing six. Charges are expected to be filed later today, and it is believed the shooting was pre-planned.
His parents have not commented on his actions, but his uncle Paul says he behaved normally at home on Sunday night and was on his computer.
He encouraged fans through his “Awake The Rapper” page to “Stay Woke”
Robert Crimo- known as “Awake” the rapper- has been identified as the gunman responsible for the mad shooting in #HighlandPark today.
His fan club told people to “stay woke,” and allegedly his social media made references to “awakening the dreamers” through a mass shooting. pic.twitter.com/TAgcaqPCPs

It is being suggested that Twitter has removed his account.
Yes. Twitter removed it, but you can see the archive here. https://t.co/XwrytOMnQC
