Highland Park shooting suspect Robert Crimo threatened to ‘kill everyone’ in 2019 home incident: Police

Robert E. Crimo III, the suspected 21-yr-old gunman accused of killing seven people today and injuring lots of more through the Highland Park, Illinois Fourth of July parade threatened to “get rid of every person” during a 2019 incident at his home that resulted in authorities confiscating a selection of knives.

Highland Park law enforcement officers responded to Crimo’s house on Sept. 5, 2019 soon after he allegedly manufactured threats, a law enforcement report claimed.  

Crimo informed officers he was depressed a few times earlier and had a history of drug use, the report mentioned. He was not forthcoming to officers about what he truly explained during his alleged threat and neither was his mother, Denise Pesina, law enforcement mentioned. 

Crimo’s father, Robert Crimo, explained to officers a selection of knives within a bedroom stored in a tin can lunch box was his. He agreed to convert them around to authorities.

“Robert E. Crimo III was asked if he permit like [sic] harming himself or other with Robert answering No,” the police report stated. 

Pesina mentioned that she would make contact with the Illinois Division of Youngsters and Relatives Solutions for referral guidance. The knives had been at some point returned to Crimo’s father. 

Crimo III allegedly climbed on a roof previously mentioned Monday’s parade route and opened fire on spectators, killing at the very least 7 and injuring dozens.

Despite two police visits to the family’s household in 2019, a person involving a threat of suicide and the alleged danger to destroy his loved ones, the elder Crimo signed an affidavit that allowed his then-19-12 months-outdated son to apply for a point out Firearms Possession ID card, or FOID.

FOID playing cards are necessary for Illinois inhabitants who would like to lawfully own firearms, and candidates below the age of 21 must also submit a parent’s composed and notarized consent to apply.
