D.A. Bragg & Commissioner Sewell Announce Indictment of Christopher Fox in Ghost Guns And Narcotics Takedown
“As alleged, Christopher Fox fully equipped himself with an arsenal of materials to operate a ghost gun and narcotics factory out of his home,” said District Attorney Bragg. “His use of 3D printing to manufacture parts for assault-style weapons serves as another example of just how easy and cheap it is to create dangerous firearms in a home or apartment.
