AK-47s haunt U S crime scene ripple through police ranks

A birthday massacre at Glenwood Apartments in Kenner Louisiana spotlights AK-47 type rifles linked to rising gun tracings at ATF. The piece traces a surge in 7.62x39mm weapons since 1993 and after the assault weapons ban expiration, noting police concerns over officer safety and a nationwide trend from Miami to Los Angeles. The report ties the Kenner event to broader violence, police debates on armament, and calls for stronger countermeasures amid several high profile incidents.

Weapon's appeal outlasts ban

In a grim report, McGraw was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds near a sewer grate after a twin boys' birthday party in New Orleans. The weapon described has origins in Russia since 1947, weighs 8.87 pounds, uses 7.62x39mm rounds, and a 30 round magazine. No arrests have been made. McGraw lies buried in a $450 grave behind a chain-link fence in a crumbling cemetery.
