The man accused of killing two people and wounding 16 others in a crowded Elgin bar was an ex-con obsessed with guns and the movie “Natural Born Killers,” acquaintances and witnesses said.
Michael York, who huddled behind the bar during the shooting, said he heard the suspect, Luther “Luke” V. Casteel, 42, shout, “I’m the king--how do you like me now?”
Casteel has been charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and other counts.
