Police on Tuesday revealed they'd had two prior interactions with Robert Crimo, the suspect in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade shooting, before his arrest.

In April 2019, an individual called the authorities to report that Crimo had attempted suicide, officials said at a news conference. The matter was handled by mental health workers, not the police.
