A woman whose sons used to be friends with Highland Park shooting suspect Robert Crimo has revealed that he attempted suicide as far back as 2016 as she branded his family’s claims that they saw no warning signs ahead of the attack as “a joke”.
The mother-of-two, who wishes to remain anonymous, told The Daily Beast that the 21-year-old went on a “downward spiral” around six years ago but his parents ignored his poor mental health.
