Controversy Surrounds Auction of Gun Used in Louisville Shooting
TL;DR Summary
The AR-15-style rifle used in a deadly workplace shooting at a bank in Louisville will probably be auctioned to the public, officials say. Four people - including a police officer - remain in the hospital. The semi-automatic weapon had been purchased by the killer, a junior bank employee, on 4 April. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg called for a change in the way confiscated guns are handled. Under current state law, guns confiscated by local police - including those used in homicides - are returned to state police and then made available for purchase at auction.
