BLM ranger’s gun connected to San Francisco pier shooting

Jul 9, 2015

SAN FRANCISCO (TNS) — The Bureau of Land Management confirmed Wednesday that one of its ranger’s service guns was stolen from a car four days before it was used to shoot and kill Kathryn Steinle on a San Francisco pier in a case that has gripped the country.

The BLM-issued handgun was stolen from the agent’s car June 27 while the ranger was in San Francisco on official government travel, said Dana Wilson, a spokeswoman for the federal agency that administers about 284,000 acres of public land in the local region.

San Francisco law enforcement sources Tuesday confirmed that the gun used by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a felon and five-time deportee, belonged to a federal agent, but they did not specify which agency.

Wilson said BLM agents all carry service weapons.

“They are fully armed, fully fledged law enforcement officers,’ Wilson said of BLM agents. “Their jurisdiction is BLM land, but they often respond to other types of crime.”

The BLM employs about 200 uniformed rangers and 70 special agents that investigate crimes, all enforcing “laws and regulations in the prevention, detection and investigation of crimes affecting public lands resources,” according to the bureau’s website.
