parade, and now that child is parentless. the investigation here is just getting started, but we are learning new details tonight, including the suspect's previous enunte with police.gun ces isn't unique to highland park. shooting here, there have been additional six mass shootings across america. from oakland, california, to queens, new york. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, and cbs' kris van cleave is here. kris, good evening. what can you tell us about the latest with the investigation? >> adriana, police are telling us that the suspect legally owned five firearms. some were found in his home. one was found in the vehicle that he was driving at the time he was arrested. and while he is talking to police, there remain a lot of unanswered questions. tonight charges are expected against 21-year-old robert "bobby" crimo iii. police say he sprayed more than 70 rounds down upon hundreds of people watching highland park's fourth of july parade. seven were killed.

38 others were wounded, including at least four children. this is the suspect after the shooting, wearing what appears to be women's clothing as a disguise to make his getaway. >> we do believe crimo preplanned this attack for several weeks. he brought a high-powered rifle to this parade. he accessed the roof of a business via a fire escape ladder and began opening fire. >> reporter: police say the shooter dumped that gun. it was similar to an ar-15. officers caught crimo more than eight hours after the massacre just five miles away. in the car, another rifle. investigators spent today collecting evidence and clearing leftover items along the parade route. lizzie kennedy came back to scene today. this is the kennedy family monday being escorted to safety by heavily armed fbi agents. >> my daughter is only 8, and she was screaming, "please, mommy, i don't want to die." i'm sorry. she screamed, "please, mommy, i don't want to die." i go you're not going to die. we have to go.

seen at all that would lead up to this. >> reporter: and kris is back here with us. kris, how did police find him? and what was he doing for the eight hours when he was on the run? >> well, the suspect left the gun behind. that allowed the atf and others to do a rapid gun trace to help identify where the gun came from. at the same time the fbi and others were piecing together a video timeline. that gave them an idea of who they were looking for, the vehicle they were looking for. the suspect went to his mother's house nearby and then drove to neighboring wisconsin and back spotted by police, pulled over and eventually arrested. >> kris van cleave, thank you so much. there were hundreds of people here for that parade. those survivors will be forever traumatized by this shooting. we sat down with one of those witnesses, natalie lorenz, who was at the parade with her young family. what did it sound like? >> so loud. not like one shot. like rapid-fire all in a row, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, like.

>> reporter: natalie lorenz says she, her husband, mother and three young sons had just sat down on the curb to watch the parade when the shooting started. >> we got down on the ground as fast as we could. and my husband saw that a shooter and was "there's a shooter." and then we just got up and started running. i grabbed my youngest son and my husband had my other two kids. my mom was running with us. >> as the family fled, her instinct was to protect her children from the bloodshed all around. >> people that had been shot that we were trying to shield the kids from so they didn't see. but they were being taken away to an ambulance. and we just kept walking like just trying to get away from there. >> reporter: it sounds like such a nightmare. >> it was the worst moment of my entire life. >> do you feel like this has sunken in? or you're still in shock? >> i feel like i'm still in

shock. i feel like i'm still just in complete panic mode. i don't know how to even make sense of this or begin to process this when i just keep thinking that could have been us. how did we survive. like why did we survive? >> and we have some breaking news. the suspect has just been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder. authorities say more charges will come. and as the nation deals with yet another mass shooting, it's worth noting the similarities between the highland park suspect and other high profile shooting suspects. cbs' catherine herridge reports tonight on the warning signs that may have been missed. >> reporter: new evigges that a atte. while 16 knives were confiscated, local investigators ran into blocks. >> there were no complaints that were signed by any of the victims. >> reporter: the suspect's now removed online videos also

glorified mass shootings for digital followers. how would you characterize the online content? >> ultra violent. >> reporter: former fbi and atf investigator scott sweetow told cbs news there is a digital tsunami coming at investigators. >> it's one of the biggest challenges is how do you go through that crushing volume of information and tease out the stuff in there that might interdict the next mass shooter? >> reporter: 19 states and the district of columbia have so-called red flag laws that allow for the temporary removal of firearms from individuals who may be a danger to themselves or others. >> but no matter how good the law is and how much money the federal government pumps into it, if people will not pick up the phone or get on a keyboard and tell law enforcement about what they saw, the red flags are largely useless. >> these so-called lone wolf attacks can be the hardest to disrupt because suspects can

cross the threshold from hateful online speech to violence very quickly. that's why timely tips to law enforcement can be so

so far booze-flation hasn't trickled down to consumers, but that may be changing. on his farm in brookland, phil muth grows some of his own hops. inflation, the cost of buying hops, barley and grain has skyrocketed. partly from a war that's interrupted production of those ingredients in the breadbasket of the world, ukraine. >> i had sticker shock this year when i saw what the bill was. >> reporter: u.s. supply chain disruptions have also slammed their industry, and not just for the ingredients. >> but our most difficult thing at one time was the cans, the packaging. >> the cans themselves? >> yes. there was a shortage. >> reporter: the disruptions have been so expensive and so severe, they and others scrambled to find a company in china to ship packaging supplies for their brews. and they warn there is a bubble about to burst in their industry. >> we haven't yet jacked up our prices. >> reporter: you're absorbing? >> we're absorbing it, but we're seeing our margin get shifted

down. so we're having to make decisions right now about where do we raise price, how do we raise price, those kinds of things. >> reporter: a risk of booze-flation is forming in many sectors of this remarkably vast industry that ranges from cans on the shelf, fine wines and tourism folksed wineries and brew pubs. where are you seeing it? >> we're seeing it in some of the items that cannot be bought in bulk, some of the more defined craft items. people are having to pay. manufacturers are having to pay a lot more money to actually get those products to the shelf. >> reporter: kathy bdurban runs the department of liquor control in maryland. says gas prices are adding to the pressure. >> the heavier products are going to cost more to ship. >> reporter: literally the heavier? >> literally. i think shipping is going to be a big issue for people. >> reporter: until now, according to u.s. department of labor statistics, beer, wine and

spirits have all fared better in this year of inflation as prices have increased more gradually for food and groceries, partly because of the heavy competition in the industry, all fighting for shelf space, all angling against and willing to undercut each other. >> being in business is tough. i mean, it's not a walkdown easy street here. every business in the economy, not just brewers and distributors and retailers and the beer industry. pretty much everyone is struggling with the same supply constraints. >> reporter: back at the brewery, the muths say they know trouble is stirring as they try to figure out how to raise prices without losing customers and their business. >> i've seen our competitors raise prices, and we'll be making some changes, working with our retailers to see what the tolerances are. but i'm afraid this is going to be ongoing. i think we're in this for a while. >> so the potential takeaway from all this, if you enjoy

were a loft warning signs. did people see the warning signs? were they missed? did this slip through the cracks? >> you know, unfortunately, i think there are a lot of people who use social media as a way to gain attention. i'd like to focus on the fact, frankly, that this was a gun that was apparently obtained legally and we need to reexamine our laws. >> reporter: crimo's uncle paul said he saw no warning signs. >> there is no indication that i seen at all that would lead up to this. >> reporter: and kris is back here with us. kris, how did police find him? and what was he doing for the eight hours when he was on the run? >> well, the suspect left the gun behind. that allowed the atf and others to do a rapid gun trace to determine where the gun came from. at the same time the fbi was and other investigators was piecing together a video timeline. that gave them an idea of who they were looking for, the vehicle they were looking for. the suspect went to his mother's house nearby and then drove to neighboring wisconsin and then back into illinois when he was spotted by police and eventually pulled over.

and arm themselves. >> when you feel the hair stand up on the back of your neck, i think you really need to take that step and notify law enforcement, notify someone in authority so that they can decide what needs to be done next. >> the so-called lone wolf attacks can be the hardest to disrupt because suspects can cross the threshold from hateful online speech to violence very quickly. s that why timely tips to local law enforcement can be so vital. adriana? >> and law enforcement still asking for the tips here. catherine herridge, thank you so much. now for more of today's top stories, let's go to cbs' major garrett in washington. major, it's really a somber scene here in illinois. >> yes. crisis counseling and prayer vigils there. adriana, thank you so much. tonight in akron, ohio, a state of emergency remains in effect following several days of protest that followed the fatal police shooting of 25-year-old jayland walker. the killing has sparked outrage. walker was shot at least 60
