The father of suspected Highland Park parade shooter Robert Crimo has said he doesn’t regret sponsoring his son’s firearm permit after he allegedly threatened to kill his family.

“I filled out the consent form to allow my son to go through the process that the Illinois State Police have in place for an individual to obtain a FOID card,” the father, Bob Crimo, explained in an interview with ABC News. “They do background checks. Whatever that entails, I’m not exactly sure. And either you’re approved or denied, and he was approved.”
