Chicago (Reuters) - An Illinois judge on Thursday sentenced a man to life in prison without the possibility of parole for a 2022 mass shooting at an Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb that killed seven people, local media reported.

Judge Victoria Rossetti told a courtroom full of survivors of the 2022 attack that Crimo would serve seven life sentences, one after another.

Seven people were killed and nearly 50 more were wounded on July 4, 2022, when police said Robert Crimo III opened fire on a parade in Highland Park.
