The security operatives who wore tactical gear and brandished assault rifles poured out of an armored vehicle, carried out the operation around 4:30 PM Monday in Highwood, Illinois, where Robert Crimo lives with his family.
TMZ reported that this occured two hours before the alleged killer was taken into custody by police after a brief car chase.
Cops identified Crimo as a “person of interest” in the heinous shootings and recovered a high-powered rifle from the scene.
Video from the raid shows two teams of FBI agents with guns poised, walking up to the front and side entrances of the house. One of the agents is heard banging on the front door and yelling, “It’s The FBI. If you’re inside, come out with your hands up.”
The other team was seen walking along the side of the house and pointing their guns at the windows, before entering the home through an unlocked door.

The federal security operatives stayed there for several hours taking photos, but it’s unclear if they removed evidence from the home or made arrests. Some agents were overheard saying they had viewed “some interesting things.”
Eyewitnesses said during the raid, Crimo’s father drove up, spoke with the FBI and made a call to his son, leaving a voicemail that the feds wanted to talk to him.
