Lake County state’s attorney Eric Rinehart called for a state and national assault weapons ban in the aftermath of the mass shooting at a fourth of July parade that left seven people dead and dozens more wounded in Highland Park, Illinois.
Mr Rinehart, a resident of Highland Park, appeared at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon to announce that alleged mass shooter Robert Crimo has been charged with seven counts of first degree murder and said that further charges against him will be forthcoming.
