ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- The father of the gunman from the May 2006 shooting at the Sully District Police Station in Centreville pleaded guilty Tuesday to two gun charges.
Brian Harold Kennedy, 50, pleaded guilty to making a false statement to a licensed firearms dealer in connection with the purchase of an AK-47 assault rifle and to the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition by a user of marijuana, authorities said.
In April, a federal grand jury indicted Kennedy on six counts of weapons charges and two counts of drug charges.
In his plea announced Tuesday, Kennedy admitted using marijuana for the past 10 years and unlawfully possessing 20 firearms and about 2,500 rounds of ammunition at his home on the day his son, Michael Kennedy, shot and killed two police officers. He also admitted storing marijuana at his home and using marijuana at his home with his son and his son's friends. He said that he lied when he said on gun-purchase forms that he was not a drug user.
On May 8, 2006, 18-year-old Michael Kennedy shot and killed Fairfax County police officers Detective Vicki Armel and Master Police Officer Michael Garbarino at the Sully District Station, police said. Michael Kennedy also died in the shooting. Michael Kennedy used his father's guns in the shootings, according to the indictment.
