| Description | Illinois State Police officials must explain why they didn't seize guns from an employee who threatened his girlfriend before killing her and himself in 2003, anti-violence advocates said Monday.
If state police are correct that they were powerless to intervene and take guns away from Donald Dunkirk, they need to ask the Legislature to change the law, one activist said.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that police officials began paperwork to revoke Dunkirk's Firearm Owner's Identification card and confiscate his weapons after suspending him from his maintenance job at the police training academy.
But officials put the revocation effort on hold, although the agency's own firearms regulators have said they could have confiscated the guns under a "clear and present danger" provision. |
