NPR (Michigan Radio) is reporting that the gun the 15 year old shooter used was a 9 mm handgun that the shooter' s father purchased legally 4 days before the shooting.
Michigan law says a gun owner (all guns) can be held civilly and/or criminally liable if their gun is used in commission of a crime. The only exemption is if the gun is stolen FROM A LOCKED GUN SAFE.
So if NPR's reporting is accurate - unless the kid is a safecracker - dad better get charged and convicted for his negligence. 25 years per death seems about right.
