Father of Highland Park parade shooting suspect sentenced to 60 days in jail for reckless conduct

The father of the suspect in the Highland Park parade massacre has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of reckless conduct and will serve 60 days in jail. The guilty plea is seen as a precedent for holding parents accountable for the actions of their children in cases of mass shootings. The father had signed a gun ownership card application for his son, who was underage at the time and had a history of making threats. By accepting the plea deal, the father aims to protect his son's fair trial rights. The accused shooter remains in jail on multiple felony counts, and his trial date has not been set.
