Gun seller pleads guilty to charge related to Newtown [View all]
Good news that someone is being held accountable.
"BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — The man who sold the Bushmaster rifle used in the Newtown, Conn., massacre has pleaded guilty to a federal charge stemming from the gun sale.
Krystopher Dibella, an former employee at Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor, Conn., pleaded guilty Monday in federal court here to aiding and abetting a failure to make a proper entry on an ATF 4473 form, which is a firearms transaction form. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided the gun store days after the massacre. . .
The Journal News first reported in April that the ATF in the days after its raid had revoked the federal firearms license of the store's owner, David LaGuercia, citing a history of violations.
Among the "willful violations" found from January 2010 to July 2011 was that Dibella "sold ammunition on at least two occasions" to a man "he had reason to believe was a felon."
So far, LaGuercia has not been charged. Dibella is scheduled to be sentenced at 11 a.m. Sept. 16.
Neither Dibella nor his lawyer, Lawrence Church, could be reached immediately for comment Tuesday."
