HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — The man accused of carrying out a mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, on the Fourth of July is set to appear in court Wednesday for his arraignment.
The suspect, Robert Crimo III, is facing 117 charges for killing seven people and injuring more than 30 others.
The suspect allegedly fired more than 70 shots from a perch on top of a building overlooking the Chicago suburb's July 4 parade route, according to police.Crimo was dressed in women's clothing, apparently to blend in with the crowds as he made his escape, according to police. A semi-automatic rifle was found at the scene after it fell out of the suspect's bag while leaving the area, according to police.
Police had checked in on the suspect in April 2019 after he attempted suicide, but his parents assured police he was getting help from mental health professionals. The second encounter came when police were called to his home in September 2019 after a family member claimed Crimo was threatening to"kill everyone," according to police records.
