Highland Park exits DART, reshaping North Texas transit

Highland Park voters chose to exit the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system, the first suburb to do so since 1989; Addison and University Park voted to stay in DART, leaving 12 member cities. DART says Highland Park’s withdrawal will take effect May 14 and will cost about $270 million in sales-tax revenue over 20 years, with the closure of 15 bus stops and the loss of paratransit service in Highland Park amid ongoing disputes over taxes and service.

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.

Father of Highland Park parade shooting suspect pleads guilty to reckless conduct, receives 60-day jail sentence

The father of the man accused of killing seven people at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor reckless conduct charges in a plea deal. Robert Crimo Jr. will serve 60 days in jail, two years probation, and surrender his firearms and Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card. He had sponsored his son's FOID application, allowing him to purchase the AR-15 style weapon used in the shooting, despite previous threats made by his son. The guilty plea serves as a warning to parents, as authorities rarely prosecute them when their children commit mass violence with firearms. The son has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges and awaits trial.
