LOS ANGELES
Sheriff's officials wrongfully returned a gun to a man who used it to kill his ex-wife inside a busy Southern California mall last weekend, even though a judge had ordered the weapon be confiscated by investigators, authorities said Wednesday.

Kevin Crane, 33, walked into the retail store where his ex-wife, Parisa Siddiqi, worked inside The Oaks mall in the city of Thousand Oaks, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of Los Angeles on Saturday, and fatally shot her after an argument, officials said. Crane then shot himself and remained hospitalized Wednesday.

I feel sorry for her and her family. Heads should roll over this! The system failed miserably. ....

Tragic fail on the part of the Gov. I smell a wrongful death suit. I hope they get a bundle. LA county i think. Yes, LA co. can pay big time.

And in response to this, the over reaction will be the refusal of departments to return ANY confiscated firearm, in the future.

LA co. did this until they got sued too many times. Several sheriff's departments still do it all they say is sue us to get it back. They know the cost of the suit is more than the cost of the firearm in most every case.
