Illegal Possession of Over 40 Firearms: Suspect in Gilgo Beach Killings Faces Prosecution

Prosecutors in Suffolk County, New York, have stated that more than 40 firearms and 10 high-capacity magazines belonging to Rex Heuermann, the suspect in the Gilgo Beach killings, appear to be illegally possessed. The weapons were discovered after Heuermann's lawyers petitioned the court to have them returned for sale. Prosecutors argue that the firearms, including assault rifles and handguns, should be further analyzed by Nassau County investigators due to potential violations of state gun laws. Heuermann, who is facing murder charges, no longer has a firearms license. He is due back in court in November.

Raccoon euthanized after rabies scare at Maine Petco.

A baby raccoon was euthanized in Maine after a woman brought it to a Petco for nail trimming services, prompting fears of rabies exposure. Raccoons are common carriers of the virus in Maine. The animal tested negative for rabies, but Maine's testing guidelines require euthanasia for testing. It is illegal to possess wildlife in Maine, and Petco does not trim raccoon nails. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife is asking for information on the woman and reminding residents to never attempt handling, feeding, or moving a wild animal.
