HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) – A prosecutor in suburban Chicago says that the gunman accused of attacking an Independence Day parade has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder.

Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart promised that dozens more charges would be sought.

He added that the suspect, if convicted of murder, would receive a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
