Police have confirmed a legally purchased 9mm handgun was used by the attacker in Wednesday’s University of Nevada, Las Vegas, mass shooting.
CNN noted that Las Vegas Metro Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill indicated the handgun, a Taurus PT92 pistol, was purchased legally by the 67-year-old suspect in Las Vegas roughly 18 months ago.
When law enforcement indicates a firearm was purchased legally, they are indicating it was purchased at retail via a background check.

a Taurus PT92 pistol
Actually, an AR-15 assault gun...
Whew! So he didn’t break the law in one aspect. Any comment from LeBron lame yet? Sooooooo insightful is he.
Even if he did, he has his agenda and he is sticking to it.
Oops.
Because all laws were followed and this mass shooter purchased a handgun completely legally, we NEED TO BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS NOW!!!
Good job police

No info on the shooter’s identity. If it were a white man, it would have been in the headline.
His identity and name have been disclosed.
The only reason to worry about the firearm is to demonize the item not the person.
Oh, the last UNLV shooting. I was thinking of the older white professor that shot the place up this week. They really oughta rethink that gun-free zone thing. Maybe get bigger signs?
Chase an armed cop who takes cover behind his car. Smart move.
or has Archie Bunker once quipped to meathead, "would you have preferred the killer to have thrown they guy out the window?"
Oh - a hand gun. I was wondering why this story had disappeared from the news cycle already.
Las Vegas can stop this stuff if they just put Bigger Signs up letting people know it is a Gun Free Zone.
No class. I’m glad he didn’t use a Kimber, Colt, or a Wilson Special.
Has the perp’s background investigation been released yet? In these type cases there often info as to a mental disorder of some kind. Why was he out of a job and why was his employment application to UNLV turned down?? Was there an indicator??
Knives, guns,autos,bombs, viruses ,demonic killers will kill! The only possible defense is tactical shooting like the guy in Indiana
We'll see the term "assault weapon" applied to handguns in due time.
