Robert "Bobby" Crimo, the man accused of killing six people and injuring at least 38 more in a mass shooting Illinois, posted videos and images online featuring former president Donald Trump, and attended a rally dressed the character from the children's books Where's Waldo.

Crimo, 22, who was taken into custody on Monday in connection to the Fourth of July shooting, was also found to have uploaded a number of disturbing posts and imagery on various social media and websites.

As noted by NBC News, the suspect's online posting did not overtly reference politics or political figures, except for two posts about Trump.

In one video, uploaded onto YouTube on January 2, 2021, Crimo is with a crowd of Trump supporters waiting for the presidential motorcade outside an airport.

As the vehicles drive by, Crimo flips his phone and shows his face, which has distinctive tattoos.

Crimo also posted a photo onto Twitter showing him draped in a Trump flag on June 27, 2021, along with the caption "Spam."

The suspect was photographed at a Trump rally in the Chicago suburb of Northbrook in September 2020 dressed as the character from the Where's Waldo series of books.

Another image, believed to be taken at the same rally, also emerged showing Crimo dressed in a Waldo costume taking a selfie.

Elsewhere, Crimo, who also goes by the moniker "Awake the Rapper," posted his music on several major streaming outlets.

One music video posted on YouTube last year which has been viewed more than 25,000 times is an animation showing a person carrying out a school shooting before appearing to be shot by police and lying in a pool of blood.

One symbol which features prominently in the music video, as well as a number of other social media posts by the suspect, is reminiscent of a sign used by the Finnish far-right group Suomen Sisu.

Crimo was also the administrator of a Discord channel named "SS," the shortened moniker used by the infamous Nazi paramilitary group, the Schutzstaffel, who were mainly responsible for carrying out the numerous atrocities during the Holocaust, reported The Daily Beast.

In the week prior to the shooting, Crimo posted a beheading video on an online message board which regularly contained graphic depictions of murder, death and suicide, reported NBC News.

Paul A. Crimo, the uncle of the suspect, said that there "were no signs" from his nephew which would indicate he would carry out such an attack.

Speaking to CNN, Paul Crimo said he was not aware of any political views of the suspect, but admitted that he rarely talks to the 22-year-old.

"He's a quiet kid," he said. "He's usually on his own. He's a lonely, quiet person. He keeps everything to himself."

"We are good people here, and to have this is devastating," Paul Crimo added, noting that his brother, and the suspect's father, previously ran for mayor of Highland Park in 2019. "I'm so heartbroken for all the families who lost their lives."

Police have not suggested a potential motive for the attack.

In a statement regarding the shooting, President Joe Biden said: "Jill and I are shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community this Independence Day. As always, we are grateful for the first responders and law enforcement on the scene. I will not give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence."

The father of a man arrested in connection with a mass shooting in Illinois liked a tweet supporting the Second Amendment days after the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas.

Robert E Crimo III, 22, was detained by police on Monday as a “person of interest" in the shooting that left six people dead and 36 injured at a July 4th parade in Highland Park.

It has since emerged that on 27 May - three days after 19 children and two teachers were murdered at an elementary school in Uvalde - his father Bob Crimo's Twitter account liked a tweet that read: "Protect the Second Amendment like your life depends on it."

The Second Amendment is the part of the US Constitution that is used to protect the right to bear arms.

According to his Twitter page, deli owner Mr. Crimo, who ran for mayor in Highland Park in April 2019, follows only one account - an archived account of ex-President Donald Trump's tweets.

There are also seemingly no tweets from his public Twitter account, which only appears to have replied to a video of Trump giving a press conference about the coronavirus pandemic in May 2020.

He was defeated by the town's current mayor, Nancy Rotering, who ran her liberal campaign partly on a platform about gun control.

His son was arrested seven hours after a gunman perched on a rooftop opened fire on families waving flags and children riding bikes at the Independence Day parade on Monday in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. The gunman climbed on to the roof of a business using a ladder in an alley, police said.

Police identified Crimo as a person of interest in the shooting and said he should be considered armed and dangerous. Hours later, they announced he had been taken into custody following a brief chase near Lake Forest, about six miles from the site of the massacre.

Crimo goes by the nickname Bobby and is an amateur rapper. He had reportedly uploaded a number of videos online, many months before the shooting, filled with violent imagery and depictions of mass murder. He goes by the stage name “Awake the Rapper" and has more than 16,000 listeners per month on his Spotify page with a net worth of $100,000 (£82,645).

A recent video posted by Crimo on YouTube appeared to show the aftermath of a school shooting with him draping himself in an American flag.

In 2020, he was pictured attending a Trump rally dressed as the main character from "Where's Waldo?" In another photo on Twitter, he was seen wrapped in a Trump flag like a cape. He was also pictured sporting an FBI cap and he had liked a video of Joe Biden.

Police said they did not know what the motive was for the shooting in Highland Park.

The wounded ranged in age from eight to 85, including four or five children. Nicolas Toledo, a man his 70s, was the first victim identified late on Monday by his family. Another victim was Jacki Sundheim, a teacher at a synagogue in Highland Park. The North Shore Congregation Israel confirmed her death in an email to congregants. At least one of those killed was a Mexican national, a senior Mexican Foreign Ministry official confirmed on Twitter.

[thingstrumperssay]

So I posted pictures of the shooter covering himself with a Trump flag and going to Trump rallies. Somebody claimed that those pictures means nothing and that he mocks Trump supporters. I asked them for a source and

THEIR SOURCE IS KNOWN RACIST AND LIAR ANDY NGO!

The fucking dumbass countered my pictures of the killer being a Trump supporter with Andy Ngo.

Who, by the way, followed the shooter on Twitter.

I need people to understand how important Highland Park is to the American Jewish community. Pretty much every Jew living in America has some connection to Highland Park- relatives, friends, old neighbours, coworkers.....

Highland Park is a historical Jewish neighbourhood, after it took in a very large amount of Jewish refugees from WW2. The large amount of Jews coming into the greater Chicago area of course led to rising antisemitism.

In 1977, Highland Park's neighbouring city, Skokie, became the center of a landmark US Supreme Court case, Nationalist Socialist Party of America vs. Village of Skokie. The results of the court case resulted in that Nazis had the right to march in Skokie, thus becoming the precedent when it comes to free speech- that Nazis have the right to free speech.

There is a long history of Jews in the greater Chicago area, as well as a long history of antisemitism.

Highland Park itself has been seeing an escalation in antisemitism.

In March of this year, Robert E Crimo III attempted to enter a synagogue on Passover, likely to "scope out" the place.

In April of this year, antisemitic flyers were distributed across the town on Yom HaShoah- the Jewish day of Holocaust Remembrance.

And finally, on July 4th, Robert E Crimo III opened fire onto the parade, killing 7 people, including 4 Jews, and injuring more that two dozen more.

None of this is random, and none of this is a coincidence.

And now, the entire American Jewish community, and the worldwide Jewish community, grieves.

Jews make up a tiny percentage of the world's population. We are all connected to each other - both with our social and familial connections- and spiritually. We are a family.

When someone in our family is hurt, we *all* hurt. And all the more when a Jewish community is attacked. We're not overreacting.

The Highland Park shooting isn't just a gun control issue. It's an antisemitism issue, it's a racism issue, and a white supremacy issue.

The Jewish community is hurting, and when the media refuses to acknowledge our suffering and the nature of our pain- it hurts more.

Rabbi Yosef Schanowitz, whose house of worship is near the site of Monday’s shooting in heavily Jewish Highland Park, says he sternly asked Robert Crimo to leave.

Following the shooting during an Independence Day parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park that killed at least six people, a local Chabad emissary said he had witnessed the suspected shooter entering a synagogue during the Jewish festival of Passover in April.

Rabbi Yosef Schanowitz recognized the photo of 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III released by police following the shooting, and realized he had encountered the suspect a few months earlier, according to the Israel National News website.

“During the last Passover holiday, that person entered the Chabad synagogue. We have an armed security guard sitting in front… I approached him and sternly asked him to leave as I noticed he was not a member of our community,” Schanowitz was quoted as saying.

He said he was in touch with the families of the victims and was “trying to be as helpful as we can at this difficult time.”

According to a report by The Forward, Schanowitz, whose synagogue is located two blocks away from the site of the shooting, helped shelter four teenage boys who were preparing a Chabad booth for the parade after shots were first heard.

The suspect in the Highland Park, Illinois, Fourth of July mass shooting was flagged by police as a "clear and present danger" in 2019, authorities said Tuesday.

Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III, 21, the suspect in the mass shooting that killed seven people and wounded dozens of others at a Fourth of July parade, was still able to clear state-required background checks to purchase firearms on at least four separate occasions between 2020 and 2021, the Illinois State Police said.

"In September 2019, ISP received a Clear and Present Danger report on the subject from the Highland Park Police Department. The report was related to threats the subject made against his family," Illinois State Police said in a statement posted to Twitter by a staff member for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

The report said that when Highland Park officers went to the family's home and asked Crimo if he felt like harming himself of others, he said no. Police said Crimo's father claimed knives in the home belonged to him and they were being kept in Crimo's closet for safekeeping. Based on that information, Highland Park Police returned the knives to the father that day. 

The statement said police did not make any arrests at the time and that members of the family were "not willing to move forward on a complaint."

Members of the family also did not "provide information on threats or mental health that would have allowed law enforcement to take additional action," the ISP statement added.

"Additionally, no Firearms Restraining Order was filed, nor any order of protection," ISP said.

Such action police could have taken included revoking a licensed-gun owner's Firearm Owners Identification card (FOID), which is required in the state to own or purchase a firearm.

Illinois State Police said at the time of the September 2019 incident the suspect "did not have a FOID card to revoke or a pending FOID application to deny."

Three months later, Crimo did apply and successfully obtained an FOID card, police said.

"The subject was under 21 and the application was sponsored by the subject’s father. Therefore, at the time of the FOID application review in January of 2020, there was an insufficient basis to establish a clear and present danger and deny the FOID application," police said.

The suspect went on to clear four background checks when purchasing firearms on June 9, 2020; on July 18 and July 31, 2020; and on September 20, 2021.

Illinois State Police said the suspect did not have mental health prohibitor reports on his record and his only criminal offense was a possession of tobacco charge in January 2016.

Police said before the Sept. 2019 incident, they responded to an attempted suicide in April that same year. These also did not prevent the suspect from legally purchasing a high-powered rifle that he is believed to have used to kill seven people during the July Fourth parade.

Social media is currently being overrun by people trying to say alleged Highland Park mass murderer Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III was a MAGA guy. They point to an odd “Where’s Waldo” image where he appears to be at a Trump event of some sort as their primary piece of evidence. There’s another image of him wearing a Trump flag as a cape, but it appears to be done in mocking fashion.

What the leftists don’t seem to notice is that a “Where’s Waldo” outfit is not common garb for Trump supporters attending a rally. Rather, it seems more like the type of thing someone would do as a stunt.

Bobby Crimo took a photo of himself at a Trump Rally and from that they're saying he's a Trump supporter… problem is… there are also photos of him in ANTIFA Black Bloc gear. Chances are VERY GOOD he was at the Trump rally as Antifa… -VJ pic.twitter.com/9btpBho3kq — RealVinnieJames (@RealVinnieJames) July 4, 2022 These are all the accounts this person was following before it got suspended. It’s all liberal politicians and left wing media orgs. pic.twitter.com/20Qh0OkVSQ — America Respector (@frenchpoast) July 4, 2022

If anyone cares to go through his likes, they’re still active. Here’s a handful of tweets he liked. pic.twitter.com/euR69J45gE — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) July 5, 2022

Then, there’s this very strange and clearly demonic video that he had allegedly produced:

Does that seem like the type of content a MAGA guy puts out?

If he does happen to claim to be MAGA, he’s definitely NOT a true America First, Make America Great Again guy. His alleged hideous crimes aside, he has no resemblance to anything one could remotely consider to be a MAGA trait. He’s a poser at best.

But here’s the thing. Whether he is a Trump supporter, a Biden supporter, or an Elvis fan, it doesn’t really matter. He’s a deranged, demonic individual whose worldview clearly lurches away from any common political ideology. The crimes he is accused of committing are not driven by political motivations. He’s mentally ill and was guided by anger, narcissism, and purely evil forces. Whether those forces were imagined through psychosis or driven by outside factors is up for debate.

One theory seems to have legs. The notion that he’s a product of “MK Ultra” or some other brainwashing system is compelling when we look through his social media and watch his videos. He has the characteristics of someone whose mind has been broken. Whether that came as a result of abuse or external nefarious forces is unknown, but it’s possible he’s the latest in a long line of young men driven to mass murder for the sake of driving an agenda.

In a time when eventual gun confiscations seem to be one of the primary goals of the globalist elites, these types of mass murders help drive them closer to achieving their goals.

Gun laws vs. mental health support: ‘We can’t screen our way out of this,’ expert says

From the Washington Post:

As the familiar debate over mental health support and gun restrictions plays out in the wake of another deadly shooting, one expert who studies mass shooting events said that, although both are important, only firearm regulations have proved to have a significant effect of curbing future tragedies.

Lori Ann Post, who researches mass shootings as director of Northwestern University’s Buehler Center for Health Policy and Economics, said assault weapon and high-capacity magazine bans are just two of the gun-control measures that have worked in countries around the world, with Australia’s 1996 gun-control and buyback law being among the most cited examples.

“Saying it’s just mental health won’t work for mitigation. We can’t screen our way out of it,” Post said. Addressing the mental health crisis in the United States has its place, she said, but it’s a “distraction” in the context of finding solutions for mass shootings by making it easy for policymakers to take the focus off measures that work, like a federal assault weapons ban.

The emphasis on mental health issues that a shooter may suffer also unfairly stigmatizes those with mental illness as violent as a result of their condition, she said, warning against conflating mental health issues such as anxiety and depression with personality disorders.

She criticized the federal gun regulations recently passed in Congress for being inadequate in situations like Highland Park, Ill.

“The legislation we just passed won’t work,” she said, using suspect Robert E. Crimo III’s behavior as an example.

“Wearing all black is not illegal. Posing with assault weapons is not illegal. Buying a gun at 21 is not breaking the law. None of his behavior was illegal, even if it was disturbing,” she said.

A grand jury in Lake County, Illinois, has returned 117 felony counts against Robert E. Crimo III, the man accused of shooting into a crowd during a July 4th parade in Highland Park, killing seven people and woounding dozens of others.

Crimo, 21, is charged with 21 counts of first-degree murder, three counts for each deceased victim.

He also is charged with 48 counts of attempted murder and 48 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm for each victim who was struck by a bullet, bullet fragment or shrapnel, a release from the Lake County State's Attorney's Office said.

CNN has reached out to Crimo's attorney for comment.

"I want to thank law enforcement and the prosecutors who presented evidence to the grand jury today. Our investigation continues, and our victim specialists are working around the clock to support all those affected by this crime that led to 117 felony counts being filed today," State's Attorney Eric Rinehart said in the release.

Crimo is expected to appear in person in court on August 3 for his arraignment, the release said. He has been held without bail since being arrested during a traffic stop hours after the shooting.

Crimo voluntarily admitted to authorities he emptied two 30-round magazines before loading his weapon with a third and firing again, Lake County Assistant State's Attorney Ben Dillon said earlier this month during a virtual bail hearing. If convicted on first-degree murder charges, Crimo faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Authorities have said they have not learned the suspected shooter's motive.

According to state police, Crimo bought rifles and other guns between June 2020 and September 2021. He passed four background checks, including checks of the federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

Almost three years before his son killed seven people and wounded dozens at a July 4th parade in Highland Park, police say Robert Crimo Jr. signed the young man's application for an Illinois Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card.

The elder Crimo agreed to sponsor Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III's gun license -- required to purchase a gun in Illinois -- in 2019, just months after local police received a report the son had said "he was going to kill everyone" in his family, police say. Officers had also checked on the young man earlier that year after he had "attempted to commit suicide by machete," according to a police report. An attorney for the parents says they have disputed details of the incidents in the police reports.

Now, with Bobby Crimo facing seven counts of first-degree murder in connection with the Independence Day shooting, his father insists he has done nothing wrong and denies any responsibility for his son's actions.

The Lake County state's attorney has not ruled out charges against the father, saying -- in response to a question about the elder Crimo's legal responsibility -- that prosecutors are still reviewing the evidence "in terms of who knew what when" in the case. The state's attorney has not said anything to suggest the parents were aware of their son's plans.

In the days after the 21-year-old gunman interrupted the holiday parade with a barrage from a Smith & Wesson M&P15 semi-automatic rifle, his father and mother, Denise Pesina, have hired a new lawyer as their actions before their son's heinous attack have come under question.

But criminal charges against the father and possibly the mother in the deadly shooting committed by their son would be highly unusual and difficult for prosecutors to prove, according to legal experts. Prosecutors must convince a jury or a court the parents aided and abetted the crime and consciously disregarded a known risk of death to prove involuntary manslaughter, experts say.

"These are hard cases when it's not the individual who actually fired the weapon, but someone else who we are expecting to have seen it coming," said Eve Brensike Primus, a University of Michigan law professor who specializes in criminal procedure. "Those are high barriers."

Attorney George Gomez, who represents both parents, said the family is "trying to cooperate with all local, state and federal authorities at the moment."

Asked if he felt there was any criminal wrongdoing by his clients, particularly the father, Gomez referred to Bobby Crimo's father: "We take the position that my client ... did nothing wrong in this case."

Gomez, when asked on Monday about the elder Crimo's sponsorship of his son's gun license despite the previous police visits to the home, told CNN that "in hindsight, when you look at everything, of course, the father would have never consented for his son to apply for the FOID."

CNN's calls to Crimo Jr. have not been returned. Pesina also did not respond to requests for comment.

Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart said there is no criminal liability for sponsoring a firearm owner's ID but noted that prosecutors were still reviewing evidence.

"There's different ways to look at potential criminal liability in this case," Rinehart told CNN. "There's not a per se violation of law if you vouch for somebody in a FOID card and they end up doing something terrible like this. But, having said that, we are continuing to investigate the case and continuing to explore all options."

Asked about the potential criminal liability of the father, Rinehart said Monday that investigators are trying to piece together what family members and others may have known before the attack.

"We're looking at a lot of different ways to understand what was going on in the days before the attack," he told CNN. "What everyone's knowledge was, not just family members but beyond. So there's a lot of work to be done. There are lots of ways to look and think about what people knew and should have done or could have done."

Rinehart declined to say whether anyone else could be charged.

PROSECUTORS WOULD HAVE TO SHOW PARENTS FORESAW CRIME

Eric A. Johnson, a professor at the University of Illinois College of Law, says a reckless homicide charge against the parents remains a possibility.

Johnson says reckless homicide is applicable to any act that causes a death, so long as the person was reckless in performing the act -- meaning they were aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the act would cause someone's death.

Parents of accused shooters historically haven't been charged in mass shootings until recently. The most notable case is that of a 15-year-old accused of killing four fellow students at a Michigan high school in November, CNN legal analyst Areva Martin says.

Michigan prosecutors say the negligence of parents Jennifer and James Crumbley allowed their son, Ethan, access to the weapon used in that mass shooting. Each has pleaded not guilty to four counts of involuntary manslaughter. Their son has also pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys filed notice they plan to use an insanity defense at trial.

A major difference between the two cases is the age of the defendants. Crumbley was 15 at the time of the school shooting. Bobby Crimo is 21.

"Their responsibility for overseeing him, parenting him, is different in kind from that of the Crumbley parents, who had a minor," Primus said of Bobby Crimo's parents.

Illinois prosecutors would have to establish that Crimo's parents not only had a disregard for human life but also foresaw their child committing a crime, according to legal experts.

"The question this prosecutor is going to have to ask: Was it reasonably foreseeable that someone who had made a suicide attempt and who had threatened to kill others would lead that person ... to commit the crime against the paradegoers," Martin said. "And if the answer to that question is yes ... there definitely could be manslaughter charges filed against his dad, who did sign that consent form and gave consent for him to gain access to the high-powered weapon and weapons that were used."

GUNMAN EXHIBITED DISTURBING BEHAVIOR AT HOME

In aftermath of the July 4th shooting, people in the Highland Park area and beyond have asked why the young man's parents did not take his increasingly disturbing behavior in recent years more seriously.

That alone, however, does not make his parents criminally culpable for his actions.

The younger Crimo uploaded his own music videos on several major streaming outlets and on a personal website under the name "Awake the Rapper." Some of the music featured ominous lyrics and animated scenes of gun violence.

One video, titled "Are you Awake," showed the young man with multicolored hair and face tattoos. "I need to just do it. It is my destiny," he declared. In the video, a stick-figure animation resembling Bobby Crimo wears tactical gear and carries out an attack with a rifle.

Another video shows a stick figure that also resembles the younger Crimo lying face down in a pool of blood. The cartoon figure is surrounded by police officers with their guns drawn. A third video features Bobby Crimo in a helmet and a tactical vest as he drops bullets onto a classroom floor.

Officers were called to the family's home multiple times over the years after domestic disputes involving the parents and the troubling behavior of their son, police records show.

In April 2019, according to police reports, officers came to the home for a wellness check on Bobby Crimo, then 18, after a call that he had tried to take his life with a machete one week earlier. The report said mental health professionals dealt with the matter.

Months later, in September, police responded to a report that Bobby Crimo had "stated that he was going to kill everyone" in his family. The young man admitted to officers that he had been depressed and had a history of drug use, the police report says.

"The threat was directed at family inside of the home," said Chris Covelli, spokesman for the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force.

Gomez, the attorney who represents both parents, said his clients have disputed the accuracy of both police reports. He said the parents described the September 2019 incident as a "domestic dispute" and told him Bobby Crimo did not speak of suicide or of killing anyone else.

Gomez said officers spoke to Bobby Crimo at the time and he "denied ever trying to harm somebody and trying to harm himself."

Officers confiscated 16 knives, a dagger and a "Samurai type blade" that were in Bobby Crimo's closet. Later that day, his father went to the police station and picked up the collection, which belonged to him, according to the police report.

Gomez said the knives were "collectibles" and not "weapons for use of any type of harm." He added, "At the end of the day, the officers were there. They assessed the situation."

Highland Park police submitted a "Clear and Present Danger" report about the visit to the Illinois State Police, the police report says. State police say in the report that Bobby Crimo told officers he didn't intend on harming himself or others when police questioned him.

State Police Master Sgt. Delilah Garcia says that at the time they looked at whether Bobby Crimo had a FOID card that should have been revoked, but he did not. Three months later, the elder Crimo signed as the sponsor of his son's gun license.

Bobby Crimo used the card sponsored by his dad to legally purchase multiple guns before he turned 21 last year, passing four background checks, according to state police. That included the semi-automatic rifle he used in the shooting.

Gomez told CNN that "the family denies that there was any issues of suicide" during the 2019 incident and stressed law enforcement found "no safety risk."

"I believe that the parents would have done things differently if ... they had known that their son would have been able to commit such atrocities and would have in hindsight been able to see and connected all the dots at the end of the day," Gomez told CNN.

"The parents feel terrible for the actions of their son, for the loss of those who lost their lives, and for the devastation that it's caused the community."

FATHER SAYS HE THOUGHT SON WOULD TAKE WEAPONS TO RANGE

Primus, the University of Michigan professor, questions whether the two incidents in 2019 are enough criminally to charge Bobby Crimo's parents.

"I don't know if that makes it reasonably foreseeable that the person will be homicidal," she said of the suicide attempt. "There are plenty of people who are suicidal who are not homicidal."

As for the threats to kill family members, Primus says, prosecutors must take the context into account.

"What were these threats? How serious were they? If it was knives versus guns, does that matter? Does that mean that they could foresee this kind of thing with an automatic weapon? These are factual questions. Part of what is so hard about a lot of these kinds of cases is whenever you're dealing with legal standards -- was a person reckless or could they reasonably foresee something -- these are standards that are incredibly fact specific."

The elder Crimo told the New York Post last week that he decided to sponsor his son's firearm license because he thought the young man would take the weapons to a shooting range.

"He bought everything on his own, and they're registered to him," the father told the newspaper.

"They make me like I groomed him to do all this," the elder Crimo said, according to the report. "I've been here my whole life, and I'm gonna stay here, hold my head up high, because I didn't do anything wrong."

The shooter's father told the Post he wants his son to serve a long prison sentence.

"That's life," the elder Crimo said. "You know you have consequences for actions. He made a choice. He didn't have to do that."

Gomez told CNN that "the family denies that there was any issues of suicide at the time," and stressed law enforcement found "no safety risk."

"I believe that the parents would have done things differently if ... they had known that their son would have been able to commit such atrocities and would have in hindsight been able to see and connected all the dots at the end of the day," Gomez told CNN.

"The parents feel terrible for the actions of their son, for the loss of those who lost their lives, and for the devastation that it's caused the community."

PARENTS MORE LIKELY TO FACE CIVIL LAWSUITS

CNN legal analyst Joey Jackson says he believes prosecutors contemplating charges against shooters' parents are taking notice of the growing public frustration with a series of mass shootings nationwide.

"Prosecutors are seeing that and they're making an assessment of what can we do, what role can we play in order to hold people accountable at all levels, not just the shooters, but everyone and anyone who may have had a part," he said.

Jackson also points to the ongoing prosecution of Ethan Crumbley's parents in Michigan.

The filing against James and Jennifer Crumbley -- who have pleaded not guilty -- alleges that when they left their son's school on November 30, more than an hour before the shooting began, they knew their son was depressed and "fascinated with guns."

"Defendants were in a better position than anyone else in the world to prevent this tragedy, but they failed to do so," the court filing states.

Referring to the Crumbleys, Jackson said: "The prosecutor is not suggesting they intended to do it ... They are suggesting they were reckless. If you want to deter this from happening then you have to look at everywhere that you can to find accountability."

Northwestern University Professor Lori Ann Post, who studies mass shootings, agrees, noting that criminal charges could have been filed against Nancy Lanza -- mother of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza -- had he not killed her before his 2012 assault on a Connecticut elementary school.

"Something's got to break here pretty soon where somebody starts taking accountability for mass shootings," she said. "And I think if you're going to facilitate and enable a mass shooter then you should be held accountable."

Parents of mass shooters are more likely to face civil lawsuits where the legal bar is lower, according to experts.

"If anything comes out of this, just based on the history of these kind of complaints, I would bet that it would be a civil case, not a criminal case," Jonathan Metzl, a professor of psychiatry at Vanderbilt University who studies gun violence, said of the likelihood of legal troubles for Bobby Crimo's parents.

Metzl says he surprised at how often parents have helped young mass shooters obtain weapons.

"The question I have is, 'What does that reveal?'" he said. "I really think we need to know more about what kind of reasoning parents have for giving guns to children who are clearly disturbed. Perhaps the parents are in denial? Or they feel like this is a mode of negotiation or gift giving?"

Highland Park parade shooting suspect may have planned attack for weeks and wore women's clothing to hide identity, police say

There was no indication that any racial group was targeted at Monday's shooting that killed six people and injured "over 30 people," Highland Park, Ill., police said Tuesday. Robert E. Crimo III, who was arrested Monday, had two legally purchased rifles, said Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli.

Police are holding Robert E. Crimo III, 21, a local rapper, who they called “a person of interest” in the shootings in which six people were killed and more than 30 injured Monday. The killings terrorized the usually serene Chicago suburb of 30,000 on a day when crowds nationwide gathered to celebrate the nation’s history.

Officers arrested Crimo “without incident” after a chase, Highland Park’s police chief told reporters Monday evening as nearby towns canceled festivities, fearing more violence. Police said Tuesday that they think Crimo legally purchased his weapon, described as “similar to an AR-15,” and randomly fired more than 70 shots at the crowd. A second rifle was found in his car, police said.

Five people died at the scene and one at a hospital. People sent to hospitals for treatment ranged in age from 8 to 85, medical workers said.

A doctor who treated victims said some suffered “unspeakable” wounds that were essentially “wartime injuries.”

DNA obtained from a rifle at the scene of the shooting played a vital role in identifying a suspect, authorities said.

Chaos erupted at July Fourth celebrations in cities nationwide when people appeared to mistake the boom of fireworks for gunshots and scrambled for cover.

First Greene proposed that Highland Park, Illinois, mass shooter Robert E. Crimo III was a “leftist” (even though there is video and photographic evidence he was a Trump supporter).

“Two shootings on July 4, one in a rich, white neighborhood and another at a fireworks display. It almost sounds like it’s designed to persuade Republicans to go along with more gun control. We didn’t see that happen at all the Pride parades in June, but as soon as we hit MAGA month, the month that we’re all celebrating loving our country, we have shootings on July 4.”
