, his family told police he had a gun and had it removed from the home, officials said Wednesday.
"While it is not yet clear when or how the suspect came to be in possession of the firearm after this incident, we can confirm that the firearm involved in this incident is the firearm used" at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School on Monday, police said in a statement Wednesday evening. Asked whether the gunman had to break glass to enter the building, Sack said he"did have to force entry."Robert Cohen / St. Louis Post-Dispatch via APThe shooter's family were “aware” that he had obtained the gun, although it's not clear when he got it, Sack said. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating to track the source of the gun sale.
The family “worked with our department to transfer that to an adult who could legally possess one,” Sack said."The mother wanted it out of the house, so they facilitated it. The party had it. How he acquired it after that, we don’t know. We’re looking into it," he said.
