The director of the Illinois State Police said Wednesday there wasn’t enough evidence nearly three years ago that Robert E. Crimo III — who’s now accused of killing seven people at Highland Park’s Fourth of July parade — should have been denied a state firearm permit over a report of violent threats to his family.
The state police approved Crimo III’s request for a firearm owner’s identification card in January 2020.
Police seized a "12-inch dagger," a box of 16 hand knives and a "24-inch samurai-type blade" from Crimo’s bedroom then, but his father said they were his, and the police returned them to him, officials said.When Robert Crimo III got a gun permit, he was too young to do it alone. But his father sponsored him for one.
There were no other factors that could have kept Crimo from getting a FOID card — for instance, he wasn’t the subject of a domestic violence order or a court order restraining him from having a gun, Kelly said at a news conference Wednesday.Asked whether Illinois’ firearm ownership laws need to be strengthened, Kelly said that’s up to legislators but urged the public to report behavior that should disqualify someone from having a gun.
Authorities said Crimo fired a 30-round magazine, then fired two more. Police found 83 shell casings. On Wednesday, attorney Steve Greenberg, representing Crimo’s parents, said the father’s consenting to his son getting a FOID card was "no different than signing up your kid for driver’s ed."
