A Mother's Nightmare.
Onlookers cheered them on as school bands marched and other revelers paraded down a city street in Highland Park, Illinois. Everyone in the July 4th parades was in a festive mood, perhaps except 22-year-old Robert Crimo III. It appears Robert E. (Lee) Crimo was seething about a judgment of foreclosure entered just last week (June 30) against his dad Robert Crimo Jr., according to Lake County Court records.
The rage blinded him against the machine he nurtured in his heart. Crimo III (the Third) armed himself with what police labeled a high-powered rifle. Like an angry white King Kong, he climbed to the rooftop of a tall building along the route of the July 4th parade and became another mass murderer in America. He’s not unique.
Since 2022, there have been over three hundred mass shootings and fifteen mass killings in the United States. Law enforcement authorities label a mass killing where three or more people have lost their lives in a single shooting.
At about 6:00 p.m., Highland Park police officials held a news conference, where they named Robert E. Crimo a suspect in the 10:00 a.m. Highland Park slaughter. By 6:30 p.m., Eight hours after the massacre, police took Crimo into custody after a high-speed chase.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen reports six people were killed and dozens wounded because of Robert Crimo’s alleged violent outburst. The annual July 4 celebration marks America’s two hundred and forty-six years of independence from the oppression of the British Throne.
