DAYTON, Ohio — Federal officials have charged a friend of the Oregon District gunman with illegally buying body armor and components for the weapon used in the deadly mass shooting on Aug. 4.
Officials say Ethan Kollie, 24, of Kettering, admitted buying an upper receiver that was attached to Connor Betts's AR-15 and the 100-round double-drum magazine Betts used to kill nine people in the Dayton entertainment district.
Kollie, who was arrested Friday, said he and Betts did "hard drugs" - marijuana and acid together - four or five times a week between 2014 and 2015, according to U.S. Attorney Benjamin Glassman. That drug use made it illegal for Kollie to purchase or possess a firearm or components, and Kollie is being charged for lying on federal firearm forms, Glassman said. (click link for the rest)
