Controversy Surrounds Fate of AR-15 Used in Louisville Shooting

The semi-automatic rifle used in the Louisville bank shooting that killed five people and injured nine will likely be auctioned off and be "back on the streets," according to Mayor Craig Greenberg. Current Kentucky law allows guns seized by the police to go to auction, including those used in violent crimes. The Louisville Metro Police Department revealed shooter Connor Sturgeon purchased the AR-15 rifle legally from a local gun dealership on April 4. The mayor vowed his office will continue to alter seized weapons before they're auctioned to keep them from being used in another homicide, including removing the firing pin.
