The mayor of Highland Park, Illinois, where at least six people were killed and dozens were injured during a mass shooting at a July 4th parade, says she served as the Cub Scout leader for the person apprehended in connection with the attack.
Police say Robert Crimo III could be considered a suspect in the case. During an interview with Hoda Kotb Tuesday on TODAY, Mayor Nancy Rotering says she does not believe police were aware of him prior to Monday, but she says she was familiar with him.
“I know him as somebody who was a Cub Scout when I was the Cub Scout leader,” Rotering said. “And it’s one of those things where you step back and you say, ‘What happened?’ How did somebody become this angry, this hateful to then take it out on innocent people who, literally, were just having a family day out?”
