According to the police, the suspect used a high powered rifle and may have planned the attack several weeks before.

Authorities have already interacted with the suspect twice in 2019 and in one of the cases knives were found in his home.

According to witness, initially they thought they were hearing fireworks rather than gunshots.

But as soon as they realized that it was gun shots they immediately started fleeing the parade.

According to Covelli, the shooter first eluded detection by disguising himself as a lady and blending in with the fleeing throng.
