A Houston couple found military assault weapons in their online order from a government surplus store.
HOUSTON, TX. - A Houston couple got more than they bargained for after buying gun storage cases online.
Within hours, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives seized the single box and quickly got a search warrant for the storage unit containing 100 more. Experts were shocked by what they found. Fremin says the military carefully tracks all its weapons, because any misplaced weapons can be extremely dangerous.
The ATF confirms it is investigating along with the FBI, but did not say how many weapons have been recovered so far.
