The Highland Park gunman who killed seven people at a July 4 parade previously posted gaming videos online where he shot at people from rooftops.
The eerie videos show 21-year-old Robert Crimo's gaming avatar standing on rooftops and shooting down his opponents in a game of Call of Duty.
This came before Crimo himself stood on a rooftop disguised in women's clothing and opened fire 'sniper-style' at the crowd during the Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois.
Crimo killed seven people with his Smith & Wesson rifle and has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder with dozens more charges expected.
In the video game posts, gun shots can be heard ringing out while players are heard laughing, yelling and directing one another. It's unclear which voice is Crimo's.
Violent video games like Call of Duty have often been cited as the motivation for real-life shootings by the NRA and gun lobbyists.

where’d you get that?
How about fed to pigs and and then executed about a half hour later.
Thanks
All I hear from the news people is that it was an “AR Style” rifle. Sometimes they say, “A assault style AR rifle”
It was named at the court bail hearing.
S&W MP15
Also had a KelTec SUB-2000 when captured.
Adam Lanza was a similar gamer IIRC.
I went to IL website and reviewed requirement to get FOID card. It is a long difficult task. Training required. Face to face interview,affidavit of support from father. Etc. that is not for a CCC ,just to own or buy. His father was nuts if not fraudster to sign for him. He should be prosecuted somehow.
Go and see the process for yourself.
Exactly. These kids can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy
