July 4th Shooter Sentenced To Life In Prison

WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) — The suburban Chicago man who killed seven people at a 2022 Independence Day parade has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Hours of statements from survivors of the shooting and grieving relatives wrapped up Thursday. But Robert E. Crimo III wasn’t there to hear it. He skipped the sentencing hearing. Survivors say they feel a range of emotions, including relief, anger and closure. Dozens were wounded in the shooting in a suburb north of Chicago. The judge ordered seven sentences of life in prison for the first-degree murder charges and 50 years for dozens of attempted murder counts.
