"Straw Purchase Linked to Burnsville Shooting as Fallen Responder's Family Speaks Out"
The owner of a Burnsville gun retailer confirmed that a gun part found at the scene of a shooting was straw purchased and traced to his store. The lower receiver, a federally regulated portion of an AR-15 rifle, was purchased online and picked up by someone who passed a background check, but it was later found in the possession of a convicted felon who was prohibited from having firearms. The gun store owner stated that they had no way of knowing the part would end up in the prohibited person's possession, and the purchaser is now under investigation for felony straw purchase.
