Illegal Gun Used in Shooting that Killed Two Central NY Police Officers

The gun used to kill two Central New York law enforcement officers was illegal, as it had a 40-round banana clip, which is prohibited in New York state where gun magazines are illegal if they have more than 10 rounds. The shooter, Christopher R. Murphy, did not have a license to have the gun, and the investigation is ongoing to determine how he obtained the weapon and who it is registered to. The number of bullets fired and the presence of an automatic weapon in the shooter's car are also under investigation.
