The man whom authorities say is a person of interest in connection with the July Fourth parade shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, posted to his Discord channel in March a photo of a politician who fatally shot himself on live TV. The photo was the last posting Robert Crimo, 22, made before going silent for months on the platform. Monday's shooting left six people dead and more than 30 others injured. Since police announced that Crimo is a person of interest, several disturbing posts he allegedly made on various social media platforms have emerged. On his Discord server, Crimo would allegedly post nihilistic political memes, including one featuring a picture of R. Budd Dwyer, Pennsylvania's state treasurer, who fatally shot himself during a 1987 press conference, according to NBC News. The photo was allegedly captioned: "I wish politicians still gave speeches like this." Another post allegedly featured a selfie of Crimo alongside a caption that read: "Cursed image screenshot … [Read more...] about Robert Crimo’s last Discord post was politician’s live TV suicide

[This story originally aired on February 20.] In July 2020, Daniel Anderl, the son of federal Judge Esther Salas and attorney Mark Anderl, was shot dead by a gunman at the front door of the family's New Jersey home. Daniel Anderl, 20, took a bullet to his chest trying to protect his parents. By the time Judge Salas came to the door, the killer was gone. Her husband, Mark, was wounded. "I have direct evidence that he died heroically, that he had a holy death," says David Oakley, Daniel Anderl's godfather and a family friend. The stranger who came to Judge Salas' door had been holding a package, posing as a deliveryman.  Just eight days earlier, a chillingly similar incident took place in California. When attorney Marc Angelucci came to his door to sign for a package, he was also shot dead. "He was just a down-to-earth, at the center of his soul a good-hearted person," Marc's friend,  Cassie Jaye, tells CBS News correspondent Tracy Smith. "[Sighs] I was trying to make … [Read more...] about Federal judge whose son was killed in ambush: “My son’s death cannot be in vain”

Authorities revealed Tuesday afternoon that the suspect who allegedly shot dozens of people at a parade on Monday had a history of run-ins with law enforcement officials. Lake County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Christopher Covelli disclosed the information at a press conference after the 22-year-old dressed in drag and killed seven people and wounded more than a dozen others at a parade in Highland Park, Illinois. The Daily Wire is not naming the suspect due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass killers because studies suggest that the media’s coverage of mass shootings sparks more mass shootings. “I’m going to relay some information from two prior instances that occurred here in Highland Park,” Covelli said. “The first was in April of 2019. An individual contacted Highland Park Police Department a week after learning of [the suspect] attempting suicide. This was a delayed report, so Highland Park still responded to the residence a week later, … [Read more...] about BREAKING: Police Were Told In 2019 That Parade Shooter Vowed To ‘Kill Everyone,’ Did Not Arrest Him | The Daily Wire

A bizarre clip from an old royal visit showing Queen Elizabeth II watching an elementary school pupil ride a scooter on her belly in apparent bemusement has resurfaced and gone viral. Video newly posted to Instagram appeared to come from Elizabeth's June 2017 visit to Mayflower Primary School, in Tower Hamlets, East London, alongside Prince Philip. The occasion had a poignant backdrop as it was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the bombing of the school during World War I, when it was known as Upper North Street School. However, it contained a number of awkward moments, including when the queen found herself watching a school girl pull herself along with her hands while lying flat on a scooter. An Instagram reel of the footage garnered 224k likes with users commenting on the perplexed look on the then 91-year-old's face. A caption on one version of the videos, by account thehouseofwindsorr, read: "The Queen has no idea what's going on."

The British Embassy in Washington D.C. went viral on Twitter for trolling the United States on Independence Day. "We made a Fourth of July playlist..." the official embassy Twitter account tweeted along with a photo of a Spotify playlist featuring only the song "Baby Come Back" and a photo of Hamilton star Jonathan Groff in costume as King George III.
