St. Louis school shooter was flagged in FBI background check but was still able to legally purchase a gun, police say
CNN
—
The gunman who killed two people and wounded several others in a school shooting in St. Louis, Missouri, on Monday was flagged by an FBI background check but was still able to purchase the AR-15-style rifle he used in the attack from a private seller, police said.
When 19-year-old Orlando Harris first tried to purchase a gun from a licensed dealer, the background check blocked the sale, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Sgt. Charles Wall said Thursday. But Harris could still legally buy the rifle from a private individual who had bought the firearm from a licensed dealer in 2020, Wall said.
Harris’s family had been worried about his mental health, so when his mother found the rifle in their home, the family contacted police, authorities said.
Missouri does not have a so-called “red flag law” which would allow police to confiscate a person’s gun if they are at risk of causing harm to themselves or others. So St. Louis police arranged for Harris’s rifle to be given to “a third party known to the family” so it could be stored outside the home, police said in a statement to CNN affiliate KMOV.
Yet somehow, when the teen forced his way into the Central Visual and Performing Arts High School on Monday morning, he had the rifle back in his hands.
Armed with the high-powered firearm and an arsenal of over 600 rounds of ammunition and more than a dozen high-capacity magazines, the shooter opened fire into the hallways of the school, which he had just graduated from last year.
As students and teachers scrambled to lock and barricade doors and take shelter, he continued his rampage, fatally shooting talented student Alexandria Bell, 15, and beloved teacher Jean Kuczka, 61, and wounding multiple others.
Within minutes, officers had arrived at the school and quickly engaged the shooter in a gunfight, according to St. Louis Police Commissioner Michael Sack. Harris was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Police are working to determine how the shooter regained possession of the rifle, Sack said Wednesday.
School officials were given access to the bullet-riddled building on Tuesday, but it could be weeks or months before students are brought back to the Central Visual and Performing Arts and Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience high schools, which share a campus, St. Louis Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Kelvin Adams said Tuesday.
“Obviously with the kinds of things that happened in our building, we need to make sure that the building is ready to receive students and staff and the community, as well,” Adams said. He noted counseling services are available for students and staff.
The attack on the St. Louis high school is at least the 67th shooting to happen on American school grounds this year, marking another devastating moment in the growing reality of gun violence against students and educators.
Witnesses of the shooting describe a horrifying scene in which the school learned there was an active shooter in the building through a coded message announced over the intercom.
As soon as history teacher Kristie Faulstich heard the announcement, she knew what to do.
“I instantly but calmly went to lock my door and turn off the lights. I then turned to my kids and told everyone to get in the corner,” she said.
Teachers and law enforcement have applauded how students conducted themselves during the attack.
“We’ve had teenagers and athletes – they don’t always listen – but on Monday they sure did,” Sack said Wednesday. “They did what their teachers instructed them to do, they do what the officers instructed them to do, despite the fact that you can see that many of them were traumatized. You can see their faces, you can read in their eyes.”
“I absolutely commend my students for their response,” Faulstich said. “Even in the moments when they were hearing gunfire going on all around they stood quiet and I know they did it to keep each other safe.”
Several students escaped the building by leaping from windows, students and teachers have said.
There were seven security personnel at the school when the gunman arrived, but he did not enter the building through a checkpoint where security guards were stationed and instead had to force his way in, according to DeAndre Davis, director of safety and security for Saint Louis Public Schools.
Police officers arrived at the school within four minutes of the active shooter being reported, according to Sack, who has repeatedly credited swift law enforcement response, locked doors and training for preventing further deaths.
“The fact that it takes this level of response to stop a shooting like this because people have access to these weapons of war and can bring them into our schools can never be normal,” said St. Louis Board of Education President Matt Davis.
The school district has been working to add gun safety to the curriculum, Superintendent Adams said at a press conference Tuesday.
“The gun safety initiative, quite frankly, was a plan put together to try to address the kind of issues that happen outside of our school district, outside of our school buildings, in terms of the number of students who have been shot in the city of St. Louis, and that die, quite frankly, as a result of incidents that happened outside of the school environment,” Adams said.
“Never did I think I would be standing here today having a conversation about a staff (member) and a student” being shot, Adams said, pausing to keep composure as his voice began to break.
Highland Park parade shooting: Suspect to appear in court as questions mount over how he obtained firearms legally
Robert E. Crimo III, 21, faces seven counts of first-degree murder “for the killing spree he has unleashed against our community,” Lake County, Illinois, State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said at a news conference Tuesday. A conviction would result in a sentence of life imprisonment without parole, he said. Illinois abolished capital punishment in 2011.
“These are just the first of many charges that will be filed against Mr. Crimo. I want to emphasize that,” Rinehart said, and prosecutors will ask a judge to deny bail.
The suspect, according to authorities, opened fire from a rooftop in Highland Park as the parade got underway just after 10 a.m. CT on Monday. More than 70 high-velocity rounds were fired with a rifle “similar to an AR-15,” said Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesperson Chris Covelli.
Crimo dressed in women’s clothing, investigators believe, to conceal his identity. He left the roof and blended in with the fleeing crowd to escape the area, Covelli said.
Five of the people shot at the parade were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said, and two people hospitalized succumbed to wounds. A total of 39 patients were transported to medical facilities “by either ambulance or other means,” according to Jim Anthony with NorthShore University Health System, and nine patients — whose ages range from 14 to in their 70s — remained hospitalized as of Tuesday afternoon.
Crimo allegedly had another rifle in his vehicle when he was pulled over by police hours after the shooting, Covelli said, and other firearms were recovered from his residence in nearby Highwood.
Crimo is believed by authorities to have planned the attack for weeks, and the rifle used appears to have been purchased legally in Illinois, he said.
Yet information released by state and local police shows the suspect previously required officer intervention over threats of violence and mental health concerns.
Complete coverage of the Highland Park shooting
Suspect had prior contact with police
Crimo had two encounters with police in 2019 over fears for his safety and that of others, information that prompted Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering to wonder how Crimo was able to later legally obtain firearms.
The Highland Park Police Department received a report in April 2019 that Crimo had earlier attempted suicide, Covelli said Tuesday. Police spoke with Crimo and his parents and the matter was handled by mental health professionals, he said.
In September that year, a family member reported that Crimo threatened “to kill everyone,” and had a collection of knives, Covelli said. Police removed 16 knives, a dagger and a sword from their residence.
Highland Park police submitted a “Clear and Present Danger” report about the visit to the Illinois State Police, the state agency said. Family members were not willing to file additional complaints, the state police said in a Tuesday news release.
The knives confiscated by Highland Park police were returned the same day after Crimo’s father claimed they were his, the state police said.
Over the next two years, Crimo legally purchased five firearms, according to Covelli — including rifles, a pistol and possibly a shotgun. State police confirmed Tuesday that Crimo passed four background checks between June 2020 and September 2021 when purchasing firearms, which included checks of the federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
To buy firearms in Illinois, people need a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card. Crimo was under 21, so he was sponsored by his father, state police said. Crimo’s application was not denied because there was “insufficient basis to establish a clear and present danger” at the time.
The only criminal offense included in Crimo’s criminal history was a January 2016 ordinance violation for possession of tobacco, police said, which occurred when he was a juvenile.
Mayor Rotering — who said she knew the suspect as a boy in a Cub Scouts pack she’d led — said she is “looking forward to an explanation” of how Crimo was able to obtain firearms, saying Highland Park police had filed the necessary reports.
“We know that in other countries people suffer from mental illness, they suffer from anger, maybe they play violent video games, but they can’t get their hands on these weapons of war and they can’t bring this kind of carnage to their hometowns. This has to stop,” the mayor told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday, noting the state has “red flag” laws but adding people need to speak up if they see warning signs.
Investigators are working on determining a motive.
One detail that emerged about Crimo was that he was present at a Passover service in April at Central Avenue Synagogue in Highland Park, according to a congregation official. He “didn’t look familiar” and left on his own, the official told CNN.
Officials currently “have no information to suggest at this point it was racially motivated, motivated by religion, or any other protected status,” Covelli said.
6 of the victims identified by officials
On Tuesday, authorities identified six of the seven victims killed in the shooting:
• 64-year-old Katherine Goldstein of Highland Park
• 35-year-old Irina McCarthy of Highland Park
• 37-year-old Kevin McCarthy of Highland Park
• 63-year-old Jacquelyn Sundheim of Highland Park
• 88-year-old Stephen Straus of Highland Park
• 78-year-old Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza of Morelos, Mexico
A seventh victim died at a hospital outside of Lake County, coroner Jennifer Banek said.
Irina and Kevin McCarthy were with their 2-year-old son, Aiden, who was found alive and taken to safety, their family told CNN.
Aiden survived because his father shielded him with his body, his grandfather, Michael Levberg, told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Aiden was taken to a police station, and Levberg picked him up, the grandfather told the Chicago Tribune.
“When I picked him up, he said, ‘Are Mommy and Daddy coming soon?” Levberg said Tuesday, according to the Tribune. “He doesn’t understand.”
Among those wounded in the shooting was Eduardo Uvaldo, a 69-year-old man who has been taken off life support and is fighting for his life at Evanston Hospital, his daughter told CNN on Tuesday.
“Doctors said there’s nothing they can do,” Karina Uvaldo-Mendez said, but added her father was still breathing on his own. “We need everyone to keep us in their prayers.”
Uvaldo was shot in the arm and then the back of the head, according to a verified GoFundMe campaign. His wife and grandson also sustained injuries, Uvaldo-Mendez said.
He tended to avoid parades because he doesn’t like crowds, she said — but he did like the one at Highland Park and it was the only one he attended annually.
CNN’s Taylor Romine, Rebekah Riess, Joe Sutton, Adrienne Broaddus, Sara Smart, Sharif Paget, Laura Klairmont, Ashley Killough, Jason Kravarik, Alisha Ebrahimji, Amir Vera, Steve Almasy, Jason Hanna, Eric Levenson, Helen Regan and Vanessa Price contributed to this report.

Elon Musk’s daughter legally changes name and cuts ties with her father | Elon Musk
Elon Musk’s 18-year-old daughter has legally changed her name to dissassociate herself from her billionaire father, legal filings that came to light Monday show.
“I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” she said in a petition for both a name change and a new birth certificate.
Musk’s daughter also changed her gender recognition from male to female after turning 18, the age of consent in California.
The documents were filed with the Los Angeles county superior court in Santa Monica in April and came to light recently in online media reports.
Her new name was redacted in the online document. Her mother is Justine Wilson, who was married to Elon from 2000 to 2008, when she divorced him. Musk and Wilson have five children together. Musk also has two children with singer Grimes.
Wilson said in a tweet on Tuesday she is proud of her daughter. She did not immediately respond to additional request for comment.
"I had a weird childhood," my 18 year old said to me. "I can't believe I'm as normal-seeming as I am."
I said, "I'm very proud of you."
"I'm proud of myself!"

Representatives for Musk’s daughter could not immediately be reached.
There were no further details on the rift between Musk’s daughter and her father, the Tesla and SpaceX chief.
Musk, the world’s richest man, is engaged in a high-profile, $44 bn bid to take over social media platform Twitter. On Tuesday, Twitter’s board unanimously recommended that shareholders approve the proposed sale, according to a regulatory filing. Musk reiterated his desire to move forward with the acquisition last week during a virtual meeting with Twitter employees, though the CEO has also indicated there are several “unresolved matters” related to the deal.
In a statement to the Daily Beast, Musk criticized media outlets for publishing the story about his daughter and her name.
“She does not want to be a public figure,” he said. “I think it is important to defend her right to privacy. Please don’t out someone against their will – it’s not right.” Musk did not immediately respond to additional request for comment.
A hearing to finalize the name change will take place later this month.
First Colombian with non-terminal illness dies legally by euthanasia
BOGOTA, Jan 8 (Reuters) – Colombian Victor Escobar became the first person in the Andean country with a non-terminal illness to die by legally regulated euthanasia late on Friday, his lawyer Luis Giraldo confirmed.
“We reached the goal for patients like me, who aren’t terminal but degenerative, to win this battle, a battle that opens the doors for the other patients who come after me and who right now want a dignified death,” Escobar, 60 said in a video message sent to media by Giraldo.
On Saturday, a second Colombian, a woman with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALA), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, was euthanized.

Escobar suffered from end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which greatly diminishes quality of life, as well as a number of other conditions, Giraldo told Reuters.
The procedure took place in a clinic in Cali, the capital city of Colombia’s Valle del Cauca province.
“I’m not saying goodbye, just ‘see you later,'” Escobar said.
Escobar had fought two-years for his right to euthanasia in the face of opposition from doctors, clinics and courts, even though the Constitutional Court last year recognized the procedure should not be available just for the terminally ill.
On Saturday, Martha Sepulveda underwent the procedure in the city of Medellin at midday, DescLAB – who supported her case – said in a statement.
Sepulveda, who had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2018, was due to be euthanized on Oct. 10 last year, but the procedure was halted at the eleventh hour.
Colombia’s Constitutional Court removed penalties for euthanasia under certain circumstances in 1997 and ordered the procedure to be regulated in 2014. The first person in Colombia with a terminal illness to die under those rules was in 2015.
As of Oct. 15 last year, 178 people with terminal illnesses had been legally euthanized in Colombia since 2015, according to Colombian legal rights advocacy group DescLAB.

Kim Kardashian Files to Be Legally Single Amid Kanye Split
Photo: Rodin Eckenroth/WireImage
He may have managed to reunite with Drake, but it looks like the rapper formerly known as Kanye West won’t be getting back together with Kim Kardashian any time soon. According to TMZ, Kardashian filed legal documents on Friday to become “legally single” and drop “West” from her last name. She previously filed for divorce in early 2021, after almost seven years of marriage. Meanwhile, Ye has been literally praying that she’ll forgive him for the mistakes he made as a husband, and even recently asked her to “run right back” to him while singing in a benefit concert that she attended with their two children, North and Saint.
We know that the pair has already agreed that Kardashian will keep their Hidden Hills Estate, but according to TMZ, there are still other property issues to address. If a judge approves Kardashian’s request, she’ll be able to officially change her marital status without having to wait for other aspects of the divorce to be resolved. And once she’s legally allowed to restore her maiden name, we’re betting her social media accounts won’t say Kim Kardashian West anymore. Still, reports that Kardashian is dating Pete Davidson haven’t stopped Ye from giving up yet, so we’ll have to wait and see if this legal move will be enough to convince him that Kimye is really over.
Kim Kardashian files to be legally single hours after Kanye West asks to reconcile during performance: report
Kanye West doesn’t want Kim Kardashian to “Runaway” anymore – and is once again pleading with his estranged wife for reconciliation.
The rapper-producer, 44, said as much during the “Free Larry Hoover” benefit concert on Thursday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. At the show, he named the reality star while he dedicated the single from “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” to Kardashian, 41.
“I need you to run right back to me, baby,” the Yeezy head honcho crooned before adding, “more specifically, Kimberly,” according to People magazine.
Kardashian was in attendance for West’s performance alongside Drake. She was accompanied by her mother, Kris Jenner and sister, Kendall Jenner, along with her children: daughter North, 8, and son Saint, 6, whom she shares with West.

The pair are also parents to daughter Chicago, 3, and son Psalm, 2.
It seems West didn’t exactly get through to Kardashian as the Skims founder legally filed to move on with her life as a single woman on Friday, according to a new court filing obtained by TMZ. The outlet said a judge must sign off on the petition in which she also asked to restore her maiden name – and drop West from her moniker.
KANYE WEST SAYS PRESIDENTIAL BID STRAINED HIS MARRIAGE TO KIM KARDASHIAN IN ‘THANKSGIVING PRAYER’
As the rest of the world looked on as Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson appeared to grow closer in numerous public outings, West joined the popular “Drink Champs” podcast and said Kardashian is “still [his] wife.”
“Ain’t no paperwork,” he added of the marital situation.
Despite the former couple being entrenched in a pending divorce, in which neither has asked the other for spousal or child support, West shared a “Thanksgiving Prayer” last month and in it, lamented the “misactions” he made that he says caused pain to his wife and family.

“All I think about every day is how I get my family back together and how I heal the pain that I’ve caused,” he said at the time. “I take accountability for my actions. New word alert: misactions. The one thing that all my successes and failures have in common is me.”
West said some of his “misactions” were “heightened” by alcohol and his manic “episodes” — which many believe to be in reference to his being diagnosed as bipolar.
He also took to his Instagram Story the day after Thanksgiving to share a black and white photo of him kissing Kardashian along with a media story.

“Kanye West Says God Will Bring Kim and Him Back Together, Inspire Millions,” read the headline.
During a Thanksgiving charity visit to the Los Angeles Mission last month, the “Jesus Walks” performer told a large crowd, “The narrative God wants is to see that we can be redeemed in all these relationships.”

He added, “We’ve made mistakes. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve publicly done things that were not acceptable as a husband, but right now today, for whatever reason — I didn’t know I was going to be in front of this mic — but I’m here to change the narrative.”

“I honestly don’t think I would even say it here on TV, but it was not one specific thing that happened on either part. I think it was just a general difference of opinions on a few things that led to this decision,” Kardashian told host Andy Cohen at the time.
Kim Kardashian Files to Become Legally Single in Kanye Divorce
Kim Kardashian wants to move forward with her life as a legally single woman, and just filed docs to so in her divorce with Ye … TMZ has learned.
Kim filed legal docs Friday … which if signed off by a judge, will make her officially single. She’s essentially asking the judge to separate issues of child custody and property from marital status. Kim is also asking that her maiden name be restored … aka, drop the “West.”
It’s interesting … Kim’s lawyer is disso queen Laura Wasser, who has frequently made similar moves with other celebrity clients, including Dr. Dre and Kelly Clarkson — separating marital status from other issues. It allows people to get on with their lives … settling other issues for a different day.
TMZ.com
What’s especially interesting … just hours before Kim filed for a change in her marital status, Ye went on stage at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, and as he sang “Runaway” he ad-libbed over vocals at the end of the song to say, “Run back to me … more specifically, Kimberly.”
Kim attended the show, brining the couple’s kids North and Saint to watch dad do his thing and give some family support.
TMZ broke the story, Kim’s already taken one big step in figuring out the property side of things — buying Kanye out of their Hidden Hills Estate for $23 million. But, there are still other property issues that are outstanding. We’re told there will not be any dispute over custody … they will get joint custody and are committed to co-parenting.
One thing is for sure, divorce or not … Kim and Kanye have, for the most part, remained a united front when it comes to their kids and emotional support. Just days ago they attended close friend Virgil Abloh’s funeral together.
It wasn’t the first time we’d seen Ye make a public play for his estranged wife, either. On Thanksgiving, he released a 5-minute-long video confessing to his issues with alcohol and times when he embarrassed Kim … including wearing a MAGA hat.
Kanye has maintained Kim was “still” his wife in recent interviews, but this document would change that … and make them legally separate entities.
Kanye West Files to Legally Change His Name to ‘Ye’
Kanye West is no more — that is, if he gets his way, and a judge grants him an official name change … to something much more to the point.
KW just filed legal docs in L.A. … asking a court to give him a new moniker in the books — going from Kanye Omari West to simply, “Ye.” Yes, the nickname he’s gone by for years and years now … dude wants that to be what Uncle Sam knows him by going forward.
Unclear what might go into the review process for this … but it seems pretty clear. If a judge signs off, then Kanye as you know him is a goner. It’ll be all Ye … all day. Fact is, in California, unless there’s evidence a name change is designed to commit fraud or other shenanigans … the judge will approve it. So, this will get a sign off by the judge.
It’s interesting — Kanye also wants to drop the “West” from his persona altogether too … which is kinda odd, considering he’s shown pride in his family heritage — and has often even called himself (both in person and in song) Mr. West. That too will be nixed if he gets the green light.
Funny enough … Kim still has “West” in her own surname — this after the couple filed for divorce.
Seems like he’s over the association as well. 🤷🏽♂️
