A Prosecutor Says the Suspect in a Kansas High School Shooting Used a ‘Ghost Gun’
The 18-year-old suspect in a shooting at a Kansas high school that left two adults and the student wounded used a “ghost gun” that is untraceable, a prosecutor said.
Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said the gun used by Jaylon Desean Elmore during the shooting Friday at Olathe East High School was obtained either through a kit found on the internet or constructed with various parts. Such guns do not have serial numbers and are untraceable, The Kansas City Star reported.
Elmore, who is charged with attempted capital murder, remained hospitalized in critical condition Tuesday.
