The man charged with killing seven people at a July 4 parade confessed to police that he unleashed a hail of bullets in suburban Chicago.
The suspect turned back to Illinois, where he was later arrested, after deciding he was not prepared to pull off a shooting in Wisconsin, Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference following a hearing where the 21-year-old man was denied bond.
