Gunman previously contacted police

After a shocking mass shooting, the town mayor said while another community was rebounding. ,I'm wondering how Gunman was able to buy weapons in light of his previous encounters with law enforcement agencies

Kurimo met policetwicein 2019. Fearing his safety and the safety of others, Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotelling wondered if Climo could later legally obtain firearms.

The Highland Park Police Department received a report in April 2019 that Klimo had previously attempted suicide, Koveli said on Tuesday. Police spoke with Kurimo and his parents, and he said the problem was dealt with by a mental health expert.

In September of that year, the family threatened Kurimo to "kill everyone" and reported that he had a collection of knives, Koveli said. Police removed 16 knives, daggers, and swords from their dwellings.

Highland Park police have submitted a "clear and present danger" report on a visit to Illinois police, state officials said. State police said in a news release Tuesday that the family was willing to file additional complaints.

The knife confiscated by Highland Park police was returned the day after Kurimo's father claimed to belong to him, state police said.

The only criminal offense in Kurimo's criminal record was a violation of the January 2016 Ordinance on Tobacco Possession that occurred when he was a boy.

Mayor Rotelling said he knew the shooter as a boy in the Cub Scout pack she led, but "looks forward to explaining how Kurimo was able to obtain firearms. ". Highland Park police have submitted the necessary reports.

The mayor told CNN Anderson Cooper on Tuesday that the state has a "red flag" law, but raises a voice when there are signs of warning. He said it was necessary.

Investigators are working on motivation decisions.

One detail revealed about Klimo, according to congregation officials, was that he attended the Passover Festival in April at the Central Avenue Synagogue in Highland Park. He "looked unfamiliar," he left himself, officials told CNN.

Authorities are currently "no information suggesting that they are motivated by racial motives, religion, or other protected positions at this time."
