Before his Arizona federal court appearance in February, Haig\u2019s lawyer said that all of the sales were completed legally.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a routine transaction to purchase a routine type of ammunition that is available in many different retail outlets throughout the state of Arizona,\u201d said attorney Marc J. Victor.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nBut the indictment alleges that Haig was selling ammunition without a license from July 2016 through October 2017. Prosecutors allege that Haig has sold armor-piercing ammunition in several states across the country. The indictment made no direct mention of the Las Vegas shooting.<\/p>\n
Generally speaking, a federal firearms license is required to legally manufacture armor-piercing rounds. There are exceptions for those who have received permission from the government if they aren\u2019t believed to be selling that ammunition.<\/p>\n
The October 1 attack left 58 victims dead and resulted in approximately 850 injuries. Paddock was found dead in his hotel room about an hour after the shooting, having shot himself.<\/p>\n
Since the mass shooting took place, information about that night has slowly but steadily trickled out from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The most recent court-ordered release of documentation<\/a> from the attack came on Wednesday, when 22 body camera videos from police were released to the public, revealing scenes from after the shooting took place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Douglas Haig, an Arizona man who sold ammunition to Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock, was indicted in the US District Court of Nevada on Wednesday on one count of manufacturing ammunition without a license.
