The suspect legally purchased the weapon he used in Monday’s shooting, Covelli said Tuesday, describing it as a “high-powered rifle” that shot high-velocity rounds. Police in Highwood — the suspect’s hometown, just outside Highland Park — had no prior crime-related interactions with Crimo, according to Chief Dave Wentz. “We don’t have information to suggest he planned to drive to Madison initially to commit another attack, Covelli added. Paul Crimo said he had never seen the suspect engage in violence or worrisome behavior. “We are good people here, and to have this is devastating.”“I’m so heartbroken for all the families who lost their lives,” Paul Crimo said.
