The city of Buffalo filed a lawsuit against several gun manufacturers and distributors, alleging they fueled violence in the city by making or providing 'thousands of firearms recovered in crimes committed in the City of Buffalo and New York State.'
The gunman, who is white, pleaded guilty last month to one count of domestic act of terrorism motivated by hate, 10 counts of first-degree murder, three counts of attempted murder and a weapons possession charge.
He used a Bushmaster XM-15 in the attack, the same model used by the shooter in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut which resulted in the deaths of 20 first graders and six adults, the lawsuit states.
