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.
Crimo is now in custody awaiting charges for the massacre yesterday. Police at first said he was not known to them but on Tuesday, they revealed he was interviewed twice by authorities.
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 recovered 19 knives and a dagger from his home but he was not arrested.
Instead, he was able to turn 21 and buy two assault rifles in Illinois, along with three other types of gun. It remains unclear why the two previous incidents were not flagged when he legally purchased the weapons.
Chris Covelli of the Lake County Sheriff's Office disclosed the prior incidents at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
In the April 2019 incident, 'an individual contacted Highland Park department a week after learning of him attempting to suicide. It was a delayed report.
'They responded to the residence, spoke to him, his parents and the matter was being handled with the mental health profession. There was no law enforcement action to be taken.
'In September 2019, a family remember reported that he said he was going to "kill everyone" and that he had a collection of knives. They responded and took 16 knives and a dagger from his home.
'There was no probable cause to arrest and no complaints assigned by the victims. They did notify the Illinois State Police.'
Crimo is also accused of 'sizing up' the Central Avenue Synagogue in Highland Park, Illinois, according to the Times of Israel.

A hot to late on the red flag law unfortunately. Florida has it right. This kid never would have gotten a gun in Florida. Strange he was able to get one in illinois.
Where did all his money come from?
Yup—the Deep State had plenty of time to work on him....
Then why was he kicked out of a synagogue?
They thought he looked and was acting suspicously.
Didn’t look like he belonged there.
Made a lot of folks uncomfortable.
I’m not saying that. I’m saying that heavy pot use during youth has a rare trend of causing schizophrenia. Laughner, Holmes, and this Crimo kid all had friends come forward saying “he started smoking pot and became distant and then changed completely.”
Post up the source for your claim the Crimos are Jewish.
“I’m not saying that. I’m saying that heavy pot use during youth has a rare trend of causing schizophrenia. Laughner, Holmes, and this Crimo kid all had friends come forward saying “he started smoking pot and became distant and then changed completely.””
BINGO. Crimo (who is Italian, by the way) was at just the age (18-22) when schizophrenia begins to manifest itself. Add pot usage (not your hippie days pot anymore, way stronger, possibly laced with fentanyl) and you have a recipe for disaster. I was talking with a friend about this when I heard some of the background info on this guy. First thing that popped into my mind, I wonder if he is paranoid schizophrenic.
I say Anyone with a face tattoo gets a Red Flag.
