The day before he allegedly opened fire on the Highland Park Independence Day Parade, Bobby Crimo attended a service at a church only a few yards from where police say he later perched on a roof and fired more than 70 rounds into the crowds below.
“I saw him the day before ... and I was asking what he was doing for the Fourth and he said ‘Not really anything,’ you know, he was just kind of mumbling which was typical for him to be very quiet,” according to Charlotte Bank, a longtime member of Christ Church Highland Park where she said Crimo was a regular at Thursday night informal gatherings, as well as Sunday services.
