A seventh person died Tuesday of injuries sustained during a mass shooting at Highland Park’s Fourth of July parade, as prosecutors announced the alleged gunman will face seven counts of first-degree murder with “dozens” more criminal charges soon to follow, authorities said Tuesday.
At a news conference Tuesday staged just west of the shooting scene in the affluent suburb’s downtown, Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart announced charges against 21-year-old Robert “Bobby” Crimo III, who on Monday allegedly opened fire on parade-goers lining the streets in a “premeditated, calculated” attack.
