About Highland Park Shooting
As per officials’ statement, the shooting in downtown Highland Park, Illinois, during a July 4th parade has made the environment fearful. They have apprehended Robert E. Crimo III, who is supposed to be involved in this case. After eight hours of continuous firing, the police officer pulled over the gunman on U.S. 41 in Lake Forest.

Robert Crimo Arrested, And Charges Against Him
When the incident happened yesterday, a 21-year-old boy, Robert Crimo, was allegedly driving a 2010 silver Honda Fit with an Illinois plate. After several hours of searching, officers grabbed him in North Lake Forest, Chicago, shortly after 7 p.m.
The terrifying incident is trending all over the web, and Robert was seen firing a long barrage of gunfire in a video. No one could imagine their Independence Day celebration would lead to such a dreadful situation. He was kept in prison without incident, and it is reported that he will be transferred to the police department in Highland Park.
According to the statement of Christopher Covelli, spokesperson for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force, Roberto climbed on the roof with the help of a ladder and attacked several people. The relevant motive of the crime is yet to be published, but it looks like it was a random and intentional crime.
