None Of Whom Could Legally Own A Gun
None Of Them Obeyed Colorado’s Background Check Law

CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. (KDVR) — What happens after a gun is used in a crime? The FOX31 Problem Solvers discovered that sometimes it can be complicated to track.

One handgun used by a teenager to shoot a Cherry Hills Village police officer in 2018 was traded with or sold to several other teens before a different man later used the weapon to shoot at a semi-truck driver in Aurora.

Evidence obtained by the Problem Solvers after both shooting cases were closed shows how a web of young people had access to the same gun, and that they used various methods, including Facebook, to get rid of it before it was linked to the crimes.
