An upstate New York woman was arrested Friday and hit with federal and state charges connected to the fatal shootings of two volunteer firefighters on Christmas Eve.
The complaint alleges that Nguyen acted as a "straw purchaser" for Spengler, who, as a convicted felon, could not legally own, acquire or purchase any firearm, Hochul said. Hochul said that a suicide note left by Spengler "includes information about obtaining the guns" from Nguyen. "This is nuts," she said, according to the newspaper. "I never supplied this man with nothing. My daughter never supplied him with anything. He's setting us up." The federal charge carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine, The Associated Press reported. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/28/16217742-woman-charged-in-connection-with-fatal-new-york-firefighter-shootings?lite= -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
