The suspected gunman in a shooting at an Independence Day parade in
Highland Park, Illinois, was kicked out of a synagogue on the final day of >Passover earlier this year, according to reports.
Multiple people have come forward to talk about seeing the man identified
as the person of interest, Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III, 21, at the Central >Avenue Synagogue in Highland Park during the Jewish holiday.
Rabbi Yosef Schanowitz said he recognized Crimo from an encounter in April
in which he asked him to leave the Synagogue, according to the Times of >Israel.
"I approached him and sternly asked him to leave as I noticed he was not a >member of our community, Schanowitz said.
Martin Blumenthal, the volunteer security director at the synagogue, said
in an interview with Forward that Crimo stood out and appeared to have >malicious intent when he visited in April.
He was definitely sizing up the synagogue, Blumenthal said.
Christopher Covelli, a spokesman for the Lake County Major Crime Task
Force said in a news briefing Tuesday that he was not aware of the
synagogue incident.
