Man who sold bullets to Vegas shooter charged
Las Vegas, Feb 3 (IBNS): The man who sold bullets to Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock has been charged with selling ammunition without a licence, reports said.
Identified as Douglas Haig, local police said that his fingerprints were found on some of the unused bullets at the hotel room from where Paddock shot dead at least 58 people last October.
Earlier, Haig told reporters that he had nothing to do with the attack.
According to the dealer, Paddock bought 720 rounds of ammunition from him.
The Las Vegas shooting has been deemed the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.
Haig, who is presently out on bail, is set for a preliminary hearing in Phoenix on Feb 15.
If found guilty, he can fail jail-term up to five years.
