Robert Crimo III, the suspected gunman in the Highland Park mass shooting in Illinois, have retained attorneys and released a statement Tuesday afternoon.

According to a series of tweets posted by Steve Greenberg, a criminal defense attorney at Greenberg Trial Lawyers, the family of Crimo has asked the law firm to represent them after reaching out on Monday. "The parents of the accused Highland Park shooter have retained us to represent them," Greenberg tweeted.  "They wish that we share the following: ‘We are all mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, and this is a terrible tragedy for many families, the victims, the paradegoers, the community and our own,’" the tweets continued. "‘Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to everybody.’ The parents request that all respect their privacy as they try to sort thru this tragedy." Attorneys Tom Durkin and Josh Herman have been chosen to represent the Crimo family, according to Greenberg.

Durkin told FOX 32 Chicago that he spoke to the family briefly by phone on Tuesday and would not comment further until after Crimo’s arraignment, which is scheduled for Wednesday.

Crimo is accused of opening fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday, killing seven people and wounding 30 others.

Airlines would have to give refunds for delayed flights under new rule proposal
flight schedule is changed significantly or the airline makes major changes to their itinerary.The proposed rule announced Wednesday would require airlines to give refunds if their departure or arrival time changes by three hours or more for a domestic flight or at least six hours for an international one.Refunds would also be due if the airline changes the passenger’s departure or arrival airport, adds stops in their itinerary, or causes "a significant downgrade" in the travel experience by switching to a different type of plane.The rule would apply even for travelers who buy nonrefundable tickets, which usually cost less and are favored by many leisure travelers.The proposal comes after the department was flooded with complaints by passengers whose flights were canceled or changed — or who were afraid to fly during the early months of the pandemic — and who couldn't get refunds.RELATED: Delta passenger explains why he declined $10K offer to give up airplane seatAirlines prefer to hand out travel vouchers instead of refunds.The department proposes to require that airlines and ticket agents give vouchers that don't expire for passengers who are told not to travel during a pandemic for health reasons or because borders are closed.RELATED: Amid delays, American Airlines earns $476 million on record revenue in 2QThe proposal faces a public-comment period and likely opposition by airlines.
