Victim's husband sues Missouri gun sellers over Jewish center shootings
BY ERIC M. JOHNSON
Gun sellers in Missouri, including a Wal-Mart, "recklessly failed" to stop a felon from illegally buying the guns used by a white supremacist in deadly 2014 shootings outside Jewish sites, according to a lawsuit filed this week.
Frazier Glenn Cross, 74, a former senior member of the Ku Klux Klan white supremacist organization, was sentenced to death in November for his attacks in Overland Park, Kansas, two years ago this week.

The lawsuit seeking unspecified damages was filed on Monday in Jackson County Circuit Court by LaManno's husband and daughters.
It accused Wal-Mart Stores Inc, Friendly Firearms LLC and a gun seller and gun show operator in Missouri and Iowa, respectively, and their employees of negligence over the firearms sales to a man who indirectly bought them for Cross.
The gun buyer, John Reidle, also named in the suit, knew Cross was a convicted felon barred from buying the weapons.
