1:37Now PlayingNew evidence videos obtained by the FOX 9 Investigators reveal how guns initially sold by Fleet Farm to illegal straw buyers repeatedly surfaced at crime scenes across the Twin Cities.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a civil lawsuit against Fleet Farm in 2022, one year after the mass shooting at the Truck Park Bar in St. Paul. A firearm initially sold by Fleet Farm was recovered at the scene and traced to convicted straw buyer Jerome Horton Jr.
"There were clear signs that we found that we believe that Fleet Farm should have known – and they sold them the gun anyway," Attorney General Keith Ellison told the FOX 9 Investigators in a recent interview.
The company agreed to pay $1 million and make "significant changes" after repeatedly arguing it was shielded from liability under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which generally insulates the gun industry from civil litigation.
