Mother of El Paso Shooter Warned Police of Son's Assault Rifle
--------------------------------------------------------------

CNN reported Wednesday that the mother of the alleged El Paso shooter
called police weeks before the shooting because she was concerned he had
an "AK" type firearm. According to family attorneys, the mother did not
identify herself or her son and was transferred to a public safety
officer who told her that, based on her description, her son was legally
allowed to purchase an assault rifle.
