so I just found out that the gun used in the slayings was stolen from one of my close friends. It was stolen from my buddies room the night before and he reported that morning of the shooting. Now my buddie had it locked up. But that did not stop the guy. It's just kinda crazy that i had shot that gun.

Now maybe if your buddy had a DIFFERENT gun, he could have apprehended and stopped the thief! Yeah there's not much that could've helped something like this. Guns are fucked.

Yeah i retract calling it a slaying. But j had met the shooter before. He was a friend of a coworker who worked. With my buddy. Hes really shooken up. Hes reclused into hiding. He sorta feels responsable for it. Which he is not.

"The documents also showed the weapon used in last Tuesday's shooting, a Stag Arms brand AR-15 style rifle, was legally purchased by a friend of Roberts.
The night before the shooting, Roberts spent time with that friend, telling him he needed to get out town and needed a gun. When the friend awoke the next day, his rifle and Roberts were missing, he told a detective"

This doesn't really match your story, but it's probably just the media being stupid......

Matches up pretty well to me. The friend in this article is OP's friend. And the media probably exagerated the shooters Friendship with the mutul "friend" Pretty crazy regardless...

, That story is a gross exaggeration. My buddy would never let some one barrow a weapon. But that is the media for ya.

How did he get the gun back, it was used in a mass murder? Wouldn't the police hold onto it?

He did not get it back. Nor would he want it back. But the media has been slamming him hard. People have been saying he gave him the gun knowing that he was gonna do it. Makes me sick
