Shop Slows U.S. Inquiry Into Rifle
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 28 ý Upstairs above his gun shop and behind a door marked "Employees Only," Brian Borgelt huddled today at a laptop computer on a desk piled high with paperwork. Mr. Borgelt, the owner of Bull's Eye Shooter Supply, flipped through a wad of business cards from journalists. Outside in the parking lot, television cameras were fixed on the store's entrance.
Mr. Borgelt's eyes were heavy and his manner abrupt. He was not enjoying the attention that came with owning the most scrutinized gun store in America.
Downstairs, agents for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were sifting through records, seeking information about a semiautomatic Bushmaster XM15 rifle that the authorities say was used by John Muhammad in the sniper attacks.
