Several victims of the Highland Park Fourth of July parade mass shooting have filed lawsuits against the Illinois State Police, alleging it allowed the suspected shooter to obtain firearms.
ByHighland Park's 4th of July parade returned Thursday with a new route following events to remember victims of the parade shooting two years ago.
The lawsuits dispute that, saying the alert, prompted by a police house call, included details that showed Crimo was not fit to obtain guns. According to the lawsuits, the red flag was prompted when Highland Park police responded to the Crimo household in September 2019. A family member had called police, claiming Crimo was suicidal and had threatened to "kill everyone," the lawsuit states.
In 2022, the same families filed suit in state court against Crimo, his father and gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson, which made the murder weapon.
