The parents of the suspect who police say carried out the mass shooting in Illinois on July 4 have issued a statement for the first time since the attack.
“We are all mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, and this is a terrible tragedy for many families, the victims, the paradegoers, the community, and our own,” the parents of Robert “Bobby” Crimo III said.
“Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to everybody,” they added.
The brief statement was released by Steve Greenberg, a lawyer who said the parents have hired him to represent them.
Robert Crimo, who lost a Highland Park mayoral bid in 2019, and his wife would like people to “respect their privacy as they try to sort thru this tragedy,” Greenberg said. “The parents share everyone’s desire to figure out everything that went wrong so that this doesn’t happen again, to more innocent people, children, and families,” according to Greenberg, who also said the parents are cooperating with law enforcement.
Crimo III is being represented by two other attorneys, Thomas Durkin and Josh Herman, according to Greenberg. Durkin and Herman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The motive is not yet apparent, officials told reporters on Tuesday. They also acknowledged that Crimo III was known to police, including an attempted suicide attempt and a warning that the man presented a “clear and present danger” in 2019. But there was not evidence to deny a Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) when the suspect applied for one in late 2019, the Illinois State Police said.
Under Illinois state law, a person must have a FOID to obtain a gun.
Police said Crimo III’s father sponsored his son’s application.
Greenberg on Wednesday said the police then renewed the card when Crimo III turned 21 “without any involvement from his father.”
The Horrible Parent wing of the Hall of Shame has added a new couple. Christopher and Roberta Laundrie are relieved to step away from the limelight.
Your son(?) (am I still allowed to say that?) is a FREAKAZOID! and YOU made him that way!
true but how about the fool that saw him and sold him a gun?
You’d think he/she would have had better judgement.
If this was my kid, I would NOT have signed a gun card. And what’s wrong with these police? No one has common sense anymore. This world is completely screwed up, thanks to the left.
And he should be held liable for these murders. Time to start going after parents who suck at parenting
Glad to know that this site is filled with experts on parenting
********
LOL
Well the ‘experts’ go beyond parenting. Personally
I think they cover any topic you want to choose.
Father is an ACCESSORY TO MURDER!
No...the Father ran for mayor...as a DEMOCRAT of course.
The police were called to the house twice...once for his suicide and the other because the wanted to kill EVERYONE!
The police have BLOOD on their HANDS!
Did they not see him in PINK PIGTAILS and All those Tats on his FUGLY face?
Who is his HANDLER?
I’ll bet the police didn’t even take his computer and phone!
AMEN!
He wanted/threatened to kill his parents too. So Dad aided and abetted a suicidal, homicidal loon by helping him buy a gun. Dad’s complicit in the murders.

The dad and the kid were living with the kid’s uncle. Neighbors say the family home where the mom was living was so run down with 7 ft. high weeds they thought it should be condemned.
I still want to know why they thought the mom’s boobs were so distracting they had to be pixelated.
Her kid is a mass murdeder and the media is afraid some males are going to get all worked up looking at her chest?
Also read that the mom had become a Mormon and was fiddling with other kook religions and such.

Tell it!!
Since you haven’t been a parent, as I am, then you couldn’t possibly comment. I at least have experience in the area of raising 2 sons and a daughter. When mine were “troubled” I took them to counseling. I prayed a LOT that I was intervening when it was right to do so. We had limits on acceptable behavior. I knew my kids, their friends, and the parents of the other kids.
My oldest, now 36, gave me a hard time when he was a teenager and young adult. We took him to a therapist, and that helped immensely. We were (and are) opposed to the mind-altering drugs that are so often used. Instead we worked on coping techniques for anxiety, and other behavioral therapies. This son is now in great mental shape. Naturally, a great woman came along. It’s amazing what the right girl can do for a young man’s confidence.
I felt like I had a duty as a mom to be involved in my kids lives. Not a helicopter parent, but interested in them and their friends. My husband coached, and I was a Girl Scout leader. We also volunteered our time at church, and their schools. Many, many of our kids’ friends have told them (and us) what great loving and supportive parents we are. They have thanked us for helping guide them as well as our own.
But I guess according to a single person, none of that means a damn thing. I’m just some stupid person on the internet who thinks I might’ve handled this kid differently.
Parenting is a tough job. Been there, done that. I think I did ok. All 3 are responsible, productive citizens. I’m proud of them and I’m proud of my husband and myself. We’re not perfect, but we are pretty stable. We got through a lot of the curveballs life has thrown at us. I thank God for helping us every day.
