Los Angeles police investigating a man's death
discovered an arsenal of more than 1,200 firearms
and approximately two tons of ammunition in his
home and garage Monday.
It was reported that the unidentified man's
decomposing body was found in his car, which
was parked down the street from his Pacific
Palisades home earlier Monday.
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the number of
guns was "staggering."
"Our truck couldn't carry it all," Smith said.
"We had to go back and make another trip."
The Times reported that many of the guns
had never been fired, and some were still in
boxes with price tags attached.
There were no signs of foul play in the man's
death, nor was there any indication that he had
been involved in criminal activity. However,
detectives want to investigate why the man had
so many guns and whether the weapons had
been linked to any crimes.
"We have a lot of work to do," Smith said.
"Running the background, history and legality
of these weapons is going to require a
tremendous amount of time. It's not a crime
to have a large number of weapons so long
as they were legal to own and legally
obtained. We want to make sure that's the
case."
