On Monday, July 4, several FBI agents exited an armored vehicle and raided the home of Robert Crimo. The raid happened around 4:30 p.m. in Highwood, Illinois in a house where Crimo lives with his family. TMZ obtained footage of the raid where you can see just how many agents were outside the suspect’s home.
The video shows the raid team slowly walking up to the front and side entrances of the house, guns drawn. One agent shouts “It’s the FBI. If you’re inside, come out with your hands up,” and bangs on the door. The cops identified Robert Crimo as a “person of interest” in the mass shooting that occurred on Monday, July 4. The second team of agents walked along the side of the house with their guns pointed at the windows. Finally, the agents entered the home from an unlocked door and found a high-powered rifle.
Witnesses of the raid said that the agents stayed for several hours and took photos. It is unclear if the raid ended in any arrest or the discovery of crucial evidence besides the rifle that was found. While the agents were at Crimo’s house, the suspect’s father drove up to the home and began speaking with the agents. The suspect’s father tried to call his son but was unable to and left a voicemail telling Crimo the FBI was looking for him.
Details on Crimo’s Suspected Crime
If the 22-year-old is indeed the gunman then he is responsible for the shooting that occurred during a fourth of July Parade. The parade took place in Highland Park but turned deadly when a shooter opened fire on people from a rooftop. As a result of the shooting seven people died and more than two dozen suffered serious wounds. The ages of the victims ranged from 8 to 85.
