(Highland Park, IL) -- FBI Director Chris Wray says federal charges are possible in connection with the Highland Park shooting.

The suspected gunman is charged with seven counts of first-degree murder after killing seven people and injuring many more during a Fourth of July parade.

Wray says "if the facts gathered end up supporting a federal prosecution," then his team will work to pursue federal charges. Â
