July 8, 2022, 1:59 AM - The gunman accused of killing seven people at an Independence Day parade in Chicago's Highland Park suburb obtained a firearms license just months after police investigated alleged threats he made to kill his family.
Crimo was not arrested or charged, and none of his family members pressed forward with a complaint against him, according to police.Three months after the alleged threat, in December 2019, Crimo successfully applied for a firearm owner identification card, or FOID, which is needed before someone can legally buy guns in Illinois. State police said his father sponsored his application, a requirement for applicants under the age of 21.
In Crimo's case, no family member nor any police officer filed a petition seeking to prevent him from acquiring guns. At the time of the alleged threat, he did not possess a gun license, had not submitted any application and did not own any guns. In Crimo's case, the Highland Park police filed a "clear and present danger" report regarding Crimo with state police on the day of the September 2019 call.
"The reviewing officer concluded there was insufficient information for a Clear and Present Danger determination," the statement said.
