Guns

Governor Ned Lamont has signed a new Connecticut law that prohibits the sale and importation of pistols that can be easily converted into fully automatic machine guns.

The state Attorney General — a gun right's supporter — raised concerns about possible unintended consequences from the legislation.

The U.S. Attorney for New Hampshire has charged 13 people who allegedly smuggled dozens of guns through tribal lands in New York into Canada.

The gunman was shot by a Massachusetts State Police officer and a former Marine, and was in a Boston hospital on Monday evening.

A judge ruled on Friday to move Jason Eaton’s trial from June to September. The move comes after the judge allowed Eaton to pursue an insanity defense.

The Berkshire County District Attorney has cleared Officer Jeffrey Spratt of any crime for the Jan. 7 killing of Biagio Kauvil, who was having a mental health crisis.

The homegoing service took place at a church on the same avenue where Hartford police shot Jones, who died days later.

The public wants the termination of the officers who fired their weapons and a public briefing from police and city leaders.

Steven “Stevie” Jones was 55 years old. The Greater Hartford branch of the NAACP weighed in on Jones’ shooting, the second police shooting of a Black man in acute mental distress in less than two weeks in the capital city.

Diane and Michael Durgin both allegedly opened fire on a vehicle that mistakenly entered their property. Diane told authorities she was concerned for her safety because the man was Black.
