The man accused of shooting into a crowd during an Independence Day parade in the U.S. state of Illinois has been indicted by a grand jury on 117 counts

The 21-year-old suspect, Robert Crimo has been held in police custody since he was arrested following the attack.

The charges include 21 counts of first-degree murder, with the shooting in Highland Park leaving seven people dead and more than three dozen injured.

If convicted of the murder charges, Crimo will face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Prosecutors say the man planned the attack weeks in advance, before he climbed onto a rooftop and fired more than 70 rounds at parade spectators.

A Smith & Wesson semiautomatic rifle, similar to an AR-15, was found at the scene.
