Attorneys make closing cases in trial of Wisconsin gun shop

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A lawyer for a pair of Milwaukee police officers suing a gun shop for negligence told jurors Monday that the store should have to pay several million dollars in damages for selling a gun that was used to wound his clients. The case has drawn attention because it could set gun law precedent if jurors find the gun shop owners can be held financially responsible for a crime committed with a weapon purchased at their store. The gun that was used to shoot Officers Bryan Norberg and Graham Kunisch was purchased by a straw buyer, someone who buys a gun for another person who can't legally purchase one.
