Brady Center Sues Utah Gun Shop that Illegally Sold Firearm to Shooter in Shopping Mall Massacre
The Brady Center is suing a Utal gun dealer who illegally armed an eighteen year old shooter with a pistol grip shotgun. The dealer, Sportsman's Fash Cash Pawn, sold the shotgun to Sulejman Talovic, who used it to kill five people and wound four others in a shooting spree at a popular Utah shopping mall. Talovic first opened fire in the parking lot and then entered the mall and began killing again.The Brady Center's lawsuit contends that the gun dealer is liable and responsible for the deaths and injuries because Talovic should have never been sold the dangerous high firepower pistol grip shotgun he used in the shooting spree and was only able to obtain the weapon because the gun dealer violated federal law.
Talovic purchased the gun when he was eighteen and under federal law a shotgun lacking a shoulder stock like this one and with a pistol grip can not legally be sold to anyone who the seller had a reasonable basis to believe is under twenty one years of age.
The case is scheduled for trial in early 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
