Paul Crimo said he last spoke to his nephew the evening before the shooting and said he was shocked to learn about his alleged involvement. The alleged gunman is believed to be linked to social media posts that discuss or depict acts of violence, including shooting people, a law enforcement source briefed on the case told ABC News. The only offense included in his criminal record "was an ordinance violation in January 2016 for possession of tobacco," state police said, adding that they have "no mental health prohibitor reports submitted by health care facilities or personnel." The suspect passed four background checks when purchasing firearms, state police said - in June 2020, twice in July 2020 and in September 2021. Therefore, at the time of FOID application review in January of 2020, there was insufficient basis to establish a clear and present danger and deny the FOID application," state police said. "The subject was under 21 and the application was sponsored by the subject's father.
"Based upon that information, the Highland Park Police returned the knives to the father later that afternoon," Illinois State Police said Tuesday night.Īt the time of the incident, the alleged gunman didn't have a Firearms Ownership ID (FOID) card however, two months later, he applied for one at the age of 19, state police said.
State police said Crimo told authorities "no" when asked if he felt like harming himself or others, and that his father "claimed the knives were his and they were being stored in the individual's closet for safekeeping."
