New details emerge in Thousand Oaks mass shooting, including gunman's possession of 7 high-capacity magazines
By EMILY SHAPIRO Nov 27, 2018, 1:59 PM ET
The suspected Thousand Oaks gunman was carrying seven high-capacity, 30-round magazines when he stormed the Borderline Bar & Grill earlier this month, authorities said. The magazines are illegal to buy or possess in California but easy to attain in neighboring states.
Twelve people, including a sergeant with the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, were shot dead at the bar on Nov. 7, allegedly by 28-year-old Ian David Long.
Long burst into the bar at about 11:18 p.m. and immediately started shooting, armed only with a Glock .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol he legally bought in 2016 at a Southern California gun shop, Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub said at a news conference Tuesday.
Long also had a folding knife, the sheriff said, but no other guns were found in the suspect's home or car.
