 JEFFERSON, La. (AP) - Federal agents seized hundreds of firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition from a suburban New Orleans gun store Wednesday, saying illegal sales helped fuel a burgeoning crime problem.
More than 2,300 firearms sold from Elliot's Gun Shop in the past five years have been tied to crimes in the area, including 125 to murder investigations and 500 to drug crimes, said Dave Harper, an agent for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The owner and two employees were accused of the illegal sales.
