Highland Park Shooting

Crimo allegedly said he committed the attack to “wake people up.” He said he’d been planning it for years and thought about using a GoPro camera to record the attack, the records show.

The father of the suspected Highland Park shooter pleaded not guilty after he was indicted by a grand jury Thursday morning in Waukegan.

The father of the man charged in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade shooting was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday for helping his son obtain firearms.

Liz Turnipseed described hearing pops, and then pain and she couldn't move. Here's what she had to say:

Crimo is accused of firing an assault rifle at paradegoers from a rooftop at the corner of Central Avenue and Second Street in Highland Park. Seven people died and 48 others were wounded.

The mother of 8-year-old Cooper Roberts has shared new details about his recovery after he was wounded six months ago in the July 4 parade massacre in Highland Park.

Six months after the tragedy in Highland Park, permanent changes are on the way to remember the Fourth of July parade shooting.

Cooper’s spinal cord was severed by a bullet, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. He also suffered organ damage and continues to receive therapy following the shooting at a July 4 celebration in Highland Park.

"Robert Crimo Jr., again the father, took a reckless and unjustified risk when he decided on Dec. 16, 2019, to sign his son's application for a firearm owner's ID, or FOID card. At the time he signed the application, his son was 19 and could not — let me say that again — could not get a FOID card, and because of that, could not legally purchase a firearm without his father's assistance in that application process," Lake County officials said.

Democrats who control the General Assembly are positioning a wide-ranging gun law for a vote as early as next month, during a lame-duck session. That follows Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s call last summer for a semi-automatic weapons ban.
