Current laws did nothing to head off alleged Highland Park shooter's purchase of weapons, even in politically blue Illinois.
Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart announces charges against the suspect Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III, July 5, 2022, the day after a mass shooting at the Fourth of July parade in Highland Park.
The rifle was one of five firearms Crimo had purchased, authorities said. The rifle he allegedly used Monday, along with a second one, was purchased in the Chicago area, law enforcement authorities said, without naming a gun shop. Law enforcement authorities on Tuesday began to provide more details about the firearms purchased by Crimo, as well as two calls to his home when he allegedly made threats on both himself and others.
“Highland Park police notified Illinois State Police,” Covelli said, when pressed by reporters for details. “Where it goes from there, I don’t want to speak to.” The situation had an immediate impact in the political realm, as Gov. J.B. Pritzker released a statement pledging to strengthen rules on the books here.
