The New York Times noted the alleged shooter “legally purchased a revolver on June 12 using his [Nevada] concealed-carry permit.”
The revolver was found in the alleged shooter’s car as officers searched it following the shooting. Time magazine reported, “…Officers found a rifle case with rounds, a loaded revolver, ammunition, a backpack, and medication prescribed to Tamura [the alleged attacker]” inside the car.
Police are still piecing together how the 27-year-old alleged shooter came to possess the rifle used in the Manhattan attack. CNN observed commissioner Tisch explaining the rifle used in the Manhattan attack was “assembled using a lower receiver purchased by an associate of [the alleged shooter].”
