The gun used to kill a 32-year-old woman on San Francisco’s waterfront was stolen from a federal agent in a car burglary in June, sources close to the investigation said Tuesday.

The .40-caliber pistol was stolen from the agent not long before Kathryn Steinle was shot to death July 1 at Pier 14 on the Embarcadero, said one source, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about the case publicly.

Morpe importantly, was the officer in question a member of one of our many “protected classes “?

The Rat probably sold it to the perp...........

We should send every illegal alien home immediately. “If it saves just one child...”

That’s impossible. This poor, innocent immigrant just found it on the pier. He wouldn’t have been lying, would he?

[editor-surveyor]

Stolen, or provided by?

For sure.

This just keeps getting better and better! But it was Bush’s, fast and furious, remember! /s

“So more gun laws would have done nothing to prevent this murder...”

The liberal mind will _STILL_ not understand this.

Never happen.

One of my clients that is a FBI agent left his FBI Chevy Suburban unlocked in front of his house in Berkeley with several fully auto weapons and thousands of rounds of ammo.

It got stolen, and has never been found, but he has not been reprimanded in any way.

.40 is a very popular caliber for concealed backup guns.

They can also be useful for planting on a ‘suspect.’

Is it me or is waterboarding and executing out of the question?

[Oztrich Boy]

His lawyer claims he found it lying in the street. I didn’t believe that when I first heard it, but now....

[csn vinnie]

Dang the NRA! Why don’t we have sensible laws against stealing guns from federal agents, and murdering innocent women?

[tumblindice]

This would jive with his story that he ‘found’ the gun. Criminals always rationalize. A burglar told police he had permission from me to burgle my business.

Well well, ain’t that just special.

Jesus died at Calvary. The South had a Cavalry division. Custer had Cavalry too.just thought you might want to know.

This just gets better and better.

Indeed. I couldn't have written a better script unless it had been a F&F gun.

[mulnir]

Well there ya go, gun laws do work after all. It was stolen, and that’s illegal right?

It was likely stolen out of some secret service agent’s locker while he was busy protecting owebama during a visit to a SF gay bath house during a “fundraiser” ...make that FUNraiser.
