Robert Crimo Jr., the father of the accused Highland Park shooting suspect, said he had “zero” involvement with the crime that left seven people dead and dozens others wounded. I would disagree. He signed an adult consent for his namesake son’s Firearm Owners Identification Card application, because he was a minor. He did so after his son tried to commit suicide and then threatened to “kill everyone.”
While Robert Crimo III was a teenager, he bought a Smith & Wesson M&P15 semiautomatic rifle, the same weapon that fell out of his backpack as he ran and was recorded on video, the same weapon used to kill and wound dozens.
