In Waukegan, Illinois, Robert E. Crimo III is beginning his sentencing for a shooting incident that occurred almost three years ago during a Fourth of July parade, leaving seven dead and numerous injured. Crimo, who pleaded guilty to the charges, is expected to receive a life sentence without parole. Victims' ages ranged from 35 to 88, with some survivors enduring severe long-term injuries. Emotional testimonies highlighted the lasting trauma felt by the Highland Park community, still grappling with the aftermath of the tragedy.
"The baby had one shoe on and she looked like she might drop the baby so she handed him to us and said, 'The blood is not ours, he's not mine'".
"The shooting began - she initially thought it was 'dumb kids with firecrackers' - she grabbed her children and ran to an underground garage".
