Mom's quest to find gun that killed her son exposes firearms loophole [View all]

BOSTON —A grieving mother is on a quest to find out how a gun used to kill her son went from a legal sale into a killer's hands.

Kim Odom has a simple question: Where did the gun used to kill her son come from?

Thirteen-year-old Steven Odom was shot and killed in 2007 while walking home in Boston, a murder that shocked the city because of his youth and innocence.

"It's important for me to know because my son's life, Steven's life, mattered," Odom told 5 Investigates' Karen Anderson. "Where did the gun come from?"
