| quote: Robert E. Crimo III had finished his attack in Highland Park, Ill., leaving pools of blood and terrified paradegoers in his wake, when police say he had an idea: Maybe he could shoot more people.
As he drove around Madison, Wis., Crimo, who authorities say confessed to police about the Highland Park shootings, saw a celebration happening there and “seriously contemplated” using a Kel-Tec rifle and approximately 60 rounds that were in his car to commit another shooting, said Christopher Covelli, a spokesman for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force, at a news conference Wednesday.
Covelli said questions remained about why Crimo did not go through with the idea, but he added that there were indications that he had not done enough planning.
Crimo abandoned his phone in Middleton, Wis., about six miles northwest of Madison, Covelli said. The FBI recovered the device.

| He confessed yesterday. Police say they still don't have a motive. I doubt that they'll find one, beyond that he was a deeply troubled individual. There was mention of him displaying the logo of a Finnish white supremacist group in his online materials, but I'm thinking it's not especially meaningful. He shot up his own community, people he was likely to know. Some of them, including the mayor, have known him since he was a young kid. I'm guessing that being bullied may have been a major contributor to his problems.
