The suburban Chicago man who admitted to fatally shooting seven people and wounding dozens of others during a 2022 Independence Day parade was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

An Illinois judge on Thursday sentenced a man to life in prison without the possibility of parole for a 2022 mass shooting at an Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb that killed seven people, the state’s attorney's office said.

Seven people were killed and nearly 50 more were wounded on July 4, 2022, when police said Robert Crimo III opened fire on a parade in Highland Park.
