Vester Lee Flanagan II bought the Glock 9 mm pistol in July from a federally licensed gun dealer in Virginia, an ATF official said.
ATF spokesman Tom Faison said a proper background check was conducted.
“I have no indication that anything was done illegally or improperly, or any shortcuts were made,” Faison said.
