The Highland Park shooting suspect's father, Robert Crimo Jr., will be arraigned Thursday after an indictment for helping his son obtain guns.
A grand jury indicted Robert Crimo Jr. on seven counts of reckless conduct Wednesday.
Prosecutors said the 58-year-old helped his son, Robert Crimo III, obtain a gun license years before the shooting at the Highland Park Fourth of July parade last year, even though the then-19-year-old had threatened violence. The "elder" Crimo was arrested in December, also on seven felony counts of reckless conduct, one for each person killed at the parade.The longtime resident and well-known figure in Highland Park was released after his arrest on a $50,000 bond.
In a brief statement, the state's attorney in Lake County said, "Parents who help their kids get weapons of war are morally and legally responsible when those kids hurt others with those weapons."We will continue to seek justice for the victims and prosecute those who endanger the community."Thursday's hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. He is expected to enter a plea.
