Police probing death find 1,200 guns, 2 tons ammo

By Around the Web

(LATIMES) — It wasn’t what police expected to find when they searched a man’s Pacific Palisades home last week.

More than 1,200 guns were strewn about the Palisades Drive house and garage, police said. The weapons ranged from high-end pistols to shotguns and rifles. Many had never been fired. Some were still wrapped in their boxes, with the price tags still attached.

It was a “staggering number of guns,” said LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith. Police also found roughly two tons of ammunition.

“Our truck couldn’t carry it all,” Smith said. “We had to go back and make another trip.”
