☆ A Craigslist for Guns, With No Background Checks

More than half a dozen others were injured before the police fatally shot the gunman in a third-floor room where he had barricaded himself. But Missouri is one of 29 states that have no background check requirement for private sales. So, Mr. Harris found a weapon by browsing the online site Armslist. Federal law requires background checks only for purchases made through the approximately 80,000 businesses that sell, ship, import or manufacture weapons licensed through the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Unlicensed private sellers, by contrast, can legally sell their wares at gun shows, out of their houses and, increasingly, through online platforms such as Armslist that match buyers with sellers.

Months before a 19-year-old shooter opened fire Monday inside a St. Louis high school, his family told police he had a gun, and had it removed from the home, officials said Wednesday. "Every building has weakneses," Sack said, adding that sharing the specifics of how the shooter entered the school could adversely impact the school district.

He said he believes the firearm the family contacted police about may have been the same AR-15-style rifle he used in the school shooting.
☆ St. Louis school shooter may have used gun that police confiscated months ago

"It could have possibly been this gun," Sack said, referring to the AR-15 style rifle used in Monday's shooting at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School. Sack deflected questions about how Harris entered the school, which was locked at the time, saying only that he had used a "forced entry." After the St. Louis shooting, the suspect's mother told investigators that the family was aware of his mental health issues and had "done everything they possibly could" to get him help, Sack said. That process can be more difficult when a gun is transferred between individuals instead of sold by a licensed dealer. Investigators believe Harris targeted individuals at the school, Sack said, but declined to say if the gunman targeted the 61-year-old teacher or 16-year-old girl who were slain in the attack.
