After being charged with seven counts of felony reckless conduct in connection to a mass shooting at the Highland Park Independence Day Parade, Robert Crimo Jr. was released on $50,000 cash bond Saturday morning, according to officials.
The accused gunman's parents have been under scrutiny as the reeling community questions why they apparently supported their son's interest in guns only months after he reportedly threatened suicide and violence.
Crimo Jr. turned himself into authorities Friday and a bond hearing is slated to be held Saturday. His attorney called the charges against the father"baseless and unprecedented." He added that Crimo Jr."continues to sympathize and feel terrible for the individuals and families who were injured and lost loved ones this past July 4th," but believes the charges are"politically motivated and a distraction from the real change that needs to happen in this country."does not believe he did anything wrongCrimo Jr.
