The El Paso shooting suspect's mother called the Allen Police Department weeks before the shooting because she was concerned about her son owning an"AK"-type firearm, lawyers for the family told ABC News.
Chris Ayres and R. Jack Ayres, the lawyers representing the family of alleged shooter Patrick Crusius, said his mother contacted police because she was worried about her son owning the weapon given his age, maturity level and lack of experience handling such a firearm. His mother was transferred to a public safety officer who allegedly told her that her son, 21, was legally allowed to purchase the weapon, lawyers said. The mother did not provide her name or her son's name, and police did not seek any additional information from her before the call concluded, according to the attorneys.The mother's inquiry was"informational" in nature and was not motivated out of a concern that her son posed a threat to anybody, the lawyers said.
