"Chris Ballard, general manager of the National Football League's Indianapolis Colts, is being ridiculed online for misidentifying a firearm in his call for "common sense" on gun control at a press conference.
Speaking to reporters at a pre-training camp gathering Tuesday, Ballard brought up a shooting at a nearby mall and criticized elected leaders for not taking action to prevent gun violence. Ballard misidentified the type of rifle used in the deadly attack, which drew a biting rebuke online.
Ballard began his remarks by offering his condolences to the families of shooting victims at Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, just 10 miles south of Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Colts, in downtown Indianapolis. A 20-year-old with a military-style rifle opened fire in the mall's food court, killing three and wounding others before being fatally shot by a bystander armed with a handgun."
