According to U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Special Agent in Charge Marcus Watson, a federal judge sentenced the father of a Huntsville elementary school shooting victim on Monday. Judge Karen O. Bowdre of the United States District Court gave Letroy Cole, JR , 41, a sentence of 26 months in prison and three years of supervised release. Letroy Cole Jr., 41, entered a plea of guilty in November to the federal offense of having a gun while being a felon in prison. Cole possessed a Kel Tec model P-32 .32-caliber semi-automatic pistol.
Second-grader Cole’s son discovered the concealed weapon in their home and brought it to class to show a friend. In a washroom at Blossomwood Elementary School on September 17, 2018, the second-grader accidentally shot himself while demonstrating it to a buddy. Town stated that felons who are in illegal possession of firearms pose a harm to all of us when those weapons are in their hands, but that concern is exacerbated when children come into contact with those weapons. “Using the unlawfully obtained firearm that Cole was in possession of, a youngster was shot and hurt. It could have been lot worse in this circumstance.
We appreciate the work put forward by the Madison County District Attorney’s Office, the Huntsville Police Department, and the ATF in reassuring the public that illegal firearms crimes are taken seriously through this federal prosecution. The ATF Crime Gun Intelligence Centers, which include firearms found in school systems, are the driving force behind efforts to cut down on the likelihood of violent crime and break the shooting cycle that wreaks havoc on our neighborhoods. stated Watson. Together with the Huntsville Police Department and the Madison County District Attorney’s Office, ATF looked into the matter. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. Becher Sr.
