http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/cicero-cop-shooting-tied-to-gun-chicago-p-d-should-have-destroyed/This is the .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, serial number J515268, that Cook County Judge William Stewart Boyd turned in to the Chicago Police Department to be destroyed. Instead, years later, it ended up at the scene of a police shooting in Cicero involving a cop with a troubled disciplinary record.
I appears a gun that was turned in at a buy-back in Chicago which was supposed to have been destroyed. It turned up 8 years later at a police shooting of a gang member.
Now, the Chicago department has opened an internal affairs investigation into how the judge’s revolver ended up in Cicero — something police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi calls “extremely abnormal and troublesome.
Sounds like a lot of these guns would be better off being sold through regular gun dealers.
