Highland Park gunman Robert 'Bobby' Crimo dressed up as a woman to carry out yesterday's attack and was able to flee in the crowd because of the disguise, cops revealed on Tuesday.

Crimo, 21, has not yet been charged for the massacre but he remains in custody and is speaking with the authorities.

Police on Tuesday revealed that he legally owned multiple weapons including two rifles - one that was used in the attack and another that was found in his vehicle when he was arrested at 6.30pm last night. Crimo's motive remains unclear, but police say he had been plotting the attack for weeks.

He legally purchased the two rifles along with other guns in the local area - despite a ban on assault rifles in Highland Park, buying them at multiple locations.

On Monday, after the attack, he fled among frightened paradegoers, pretending to be one of the victims, and went to his mother's house.

It's unclear if he told her what he had done or if she is being treated as a suspect, but he took her car.

It comes as questions over the young gunman's motive, lifestyle and his obsession with the numbers 47 arise.

Crimo had a 47 tattoo on his cheek and the numbers are emblazoned on the side of a car at his home. The vehicle was left abandoned in the front yard on Tuesday after the home was raided by FBI agents. Crimo also posted the number all over his social media accounts, where he also shared ominous rap videos that glamorized school shootings.

On Tuesday, it was revealed;

47- “name” of the primary character and protagonist in the “hitman” video games. Crimo is well known in gamer circles.
