Federal agents raided an eastern Connecticut gun shop on Thursday,
the same gun shop that sold one of the weapons purchased by Nancy Lanza and used by the Newtown
elementary school shooter.
Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, assisted by
police, moved in on Riverview Sales at 4 Prospect Hill Road in East
Windsor at around 5:15 p.m., reported Len Besthoff of CBS 2 sister
station WFSB in Hartford.
All indications are Thursday’s raid was not directly related to the
Newtown massacre investigation, but, as Besthoff reported, it was
related to several other crimes committed at the store, including the
recent theft of an AR-15 and the attempted theft of a .50-caliber long
gun, both by a man with mental illness, Besthoff reported.
Police and ATF agents converged on the store and the plaza was later
cordoned off by local cops, while the feds reportedly went through the
store’s inventory.
