Parade Shooter Known Threat; Said He'd 'Kill Everyone' in 2019
As with a great many of the modern day mass shooters that we’ve witnessed here in the United States, the young man responsible for the violence at a suburban Chicago 4th of July parade was a known threat who had been visited by police.
In the hours after his arrest, police began doing some intensive digging into the background of Highland Park shooter Bobby Crimo…and what they’ve found has been profoundly disturbing.
Highland Park shooter Bobby Crimo was questioned by police twice in 2019 including once after threatening to ‘kill everyone’ and another after he threatened suicide, but was never arrested.

The first was in April 2019 a week after he threatened to kill himself. The second was in September 2019, after he threatened to ‘kill everyone’ in his family.
Police even removed weapons from the home.
Police recovered 19 knives and a dagger from his home but he was not arrested.
Crimo evaded arrest for several hours after first dressing in women’s clothing to evade suspicion.
On Wednesday, a 7th victim of his rampage succumbed to their wounds at an area hospital.
