Man charged for selling armor-piercing bullets to Las Vegas gunman
LOS ANGELES, Feb 2 (Reuters) - An Arizona man accused of selling armor-piercing bullets to a Las Vegas gunman who killed 58 people was charged on Friday with conspiracy to manufacture and sell such ammunition without a license, federal prosecutors in Nevada said.
Douglas Haig, 55, of Mesa, Arizona, became the first person arrested and charged in connection with the Oct. 1 massacre, which ranks as the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
The gunman, Stephen Paddock, who strafed a crowd of concert-goers from his high-rise hotel suite, killed himself as police closed in on his room.
