Gun allegedly used by San Francisco shooting suspect belonged to federal agent, source says

Published July 07, 2015 · FoxNews.com

The gun used by a Mexican illegal immigrant when he allegedly shot dead a 32-year-old woman at a San Francisco pier belonged to a federal agent, a source confirmed to Fox News Tuesday.

It was not immediately clear how Francisco Sanchez, 45, would have obtained the weapon. However, the San Francisco Chronicle reported sources told the paper the gun had been stolen during a car burglary in June.

Earlier Tuesday, Sanchez pled not guilty to first-degree murder in last week's shooting of Kathryn Steinle, 32, while she was walking with her father and a family friend at Pier 14. Police said witnesses heard no argument or dispute before the shooting, suggesting it was a random attack.

Sanchez had previously told KGO-TV Sunday in a mix of Spanish and English that he found a gun wrapped inside a shirt while he was sitting on a bench at the pier and smoking a cigarette.

"So I picked it up and ... it started to fire on its own," Sanchez said, adding that he heard three shots go off.

A source familiar with the investigation told the San Francisco Chronicle that Sanchez said he was at the popular pier to shoot at sea lions, and discarded the firearm after realizing he had shot Steinle.

The shooting has drawn national attention and criticism of the city's sanctuary ordinance after federal officials revealed that Sanchez has seven felony convictions and was deported five times to his native Mexico.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had turned Sanchez over to authorities in San Francisco on March 26 on an outstanding drug warrant.

The Sheriff's Department released Sanchez on April 15 after the San Francisco district attorney's office declined to prosecute him for what authorities said was a decade-old marijuana possession case.

ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said the agency had issued a detainer for Sanchez, requesting notification of his release and that he stays in custody until immigration authorities could pick him up. The detainer was not honored, she said.

Freya Horne, counsel for the San Francisco Sheriff's Department, said Friday that federal detention requests are not sufficient to hold someone. Under the city's sanctuary ordinance, people in the country illegally aren't handed over to immigration officials unless there's a warrant for their arrest.

Fox News' Jessica Miller and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Apprehend all illegal aliens, and those who empower them. Those guilty of harming anyone, regardless of degree, execute. It's past time to clean the gene pool...

 

[Shacknasty Shagrat]

This murder in a hyper pious Liberal 'Scanctuary' city is creating a firestorm of protest.
The whole investigation seems phoney.
We need names of those who supplied, wittingly or unwittingly, the gun, and get to the bottom of this mess.

He just happened to find a stolen gun that had belonged to a fed and it was all wrapped up, nice and tidy, in a tee shirt and lying next to him on a park bench. Uh huh. Yeah. Sure. Gotcha.



Bull$**t.


I would like to know more about the victim. Who was she? What sort of enemies, if any, had she made and who were they and what do they do? Hopefully, some brave, independent, journalist will look hard over this case with a fine tooth comb and look at every tiny detail and find out what other interesting aspects of this case can be discovered before this thing gets swept under the rug.

We already posted about her on another thread. A beautiful 31 year old woman out for a walk with her father and a friend.

I'm surprised this made the news at all; illegals kill people almost every day (by drunk driving and other felonies) and it doesn't get this much attention. I think its because of Trump's comments.

Because it was a gun used. Guns are evil. Cars driven by drunks are OK don't cha know??? Everbody liberal drives a little tipsy.

I told folks that the story was fishy when the news interviewed the parents and when they "cried" there were NO tears nor any of the signs of crying/grieving. Just like Sandy Hoax.

Isnt that the truth. Everyday.

I didnt want to start a thread on yet another...


On Sunday morning, June 22, 2014, Edward Horowitz, M.D. was crossing with the green light at 38th Street and Dodge, in Omaha, Nebraska. Out of nowhere came a speeding blue car, which struck Horowitz hard with such a “horrific bang” that he was thrown against the window of a U-Hall van stopped for the red light. He later died.

The woman driving the U-Haul became hysterical. A witness said a blue car hit Dr. Horowitz while he was walking in the crosswalk. The driver of the car that hit Dr. Horowitz then sped off.

The driver and a passenger abandoned the vehicle and ran off, but police caught up with them. The car was registered to Pedro Diego Antonio. Antonio was allegedly the driver.

Later, “[p]olice say Pedro Diego Antonio … was arrested … on motor vehicle homicide charges. ... Prosecutors say Pedro was three times over the legal limit when arrested.”

What do we know about Dr. Horowitz? Creighton University released a statement the Monday afternoon after he was struck dead:

[The] School of Medicine mourns the unexpected loss of Edward Horowitz, M.D.

Horowitz was a passionate educator and, as such, has touched the lives of countless medical students during his tenure at Creighton University. His loss weighs heavy on the hearts of faculty, staff and students within the medical school and across the campus[.] … Horowitz, born in Los Angeles in 1950, started a nearly four decades-long career at Creighton as a medical student.

What do we know about Pedro Diego Antonio? Not much.

Police identified the driver as 31-year-old Pedro Diego-Antonio, born in Guatemala. Diego-Antonio was booked into Douglas County Corrections at 8:04 p.m. on counts of felony DUI causing serious bodily injury, leaving the scene of an injury accident and felony motor vehicle homicide.

According to KEYV-Omaha:

Diego-Antonio’s license is under revocation. He received a DUI in 2011 and two driving under suspension citations in 2014, including one on June 11, eleven days before he struck Dr, Horowitz.

Nor have authorities answered how Diego Antonio got a driver’s license in the first place. He is an illegal immigrant. All we know is what Emily Szink knows. She writes for KMTV News:

The state believes that Pedro Diego Antonio … is a flight risk so bond was set at $300,000[.] … Right now Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a hold on him.

Omaha, Nebraska is in the middle of the country, where clouds billow over the hills and prairies and the indifferent sparrows skirt from one bush to another. Omaha is far away from the southern border. How can Omaha have an illegal immigration problem, too?

Well, the chickens must be slaughtered in Fremont, Nebraska. Mutual of Omaha needs its offices cleaned and its lawns cut and green. The Democratic Party needs voters, and the Catholic Church needs to fill its pews. Illegal immigration is the answer to all these needs. And who pays? Dr. Horowitz paid with his life – that’s who.

One Omaha responder to the WOTV news story writes:

Truthfully, Omaha employers bring and maintain undocumented workers. I worked at Mutual of Omaha and their cleaning staff had some who were undocumented…one told me she bought a Social Security card in South O. Her son lives in Mexico but she can't return to get him because she won't be able to get back into the US.

It does little good to draw a line from blood in the street at 38th and Dodge in Omaha to the state legislature in Lincoln, then on to the U.S. Congress. They all are part of the rampant immigration lawlessness that contributed to the death of a good man. They will just look the other way, turn the newspaper page at breakfast, and pour another cup of coffee. Some shake their heads and wonder what Donald Trump is up to.

Omaha.com notes:

On Wednesday, April 22, 2015, Douglas County District Judge Shelly Stratman sentenced Diego-Antonio to 35 to 40 years in prison. Under state laws that cut most sentences in half, Diego-Antonio, 31, will serve 17½ to 20 years in prison. He then will be deported to Guatemala, where he has a wife and a child, prosecutors say.

Imagine that. Deported to Guatemala after serving about 20 years in prison. Another illegal alien, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who confessed to murdering Kathryn Steinle on the streets of San Francisco, was deported five times, yet he managed to return to the United States and commit murder.

Meanwhile, thousands of illegal aliens still flood into the country from our southern border. They bring north disease, drugs, and little regard for good men who do the right thing. Omaha has become a border city, where the inconvenient truth about the horrors of illegal immigration is ignored.

"So I picked it up and ... it started to fire on its own," Sanchez said, adding that he heard three shots go off.

Besides the fact that a "gun" is an inanimate object and can't do anything by itself, this clown is an idiot!

....Sanchez said he was at the popular pier to shoot at sea lions, and discarded the firearm after realizing he had shot Steinle.

Is that some kind of SOUTH of the border sport...shooting sea lions? Didn't know they had an open hunting season on sea lions!

This assclown needs to be hung by his neck until he's dead and left to rot in the sun at the border as an example of what happens when you cross our borders and commit a crime. It's time for some old fashion Draconian measures and some down right Medieval restitution. It's time for all illegals to be marched back across the borders and branded in such a fashion that they can easily be spotted if they ever return under the pain of death. It's time to CLOSE THE BORDERS NOW!!

I'm surprised no one else spotted that statement. You know, I bet that evil gun was wrapped in a T-shirt with a Confederate flag on it.

 

[Kook]

The Feds not only cannot control the border, they cannot even control their evil guns. There's only on solution. I say, DISARM THE FEDS! Contract out border security to the Oathkeepers. It will save millions and stop infiltration of the country!

More Than 347,000 Convicted Criminal Immigrants At Large In U.S.
by Caroline May7 Jul 2015981


Hundreds of thousands of convicted criminal immigrants remain at large in the U.S. and a number have gone on to commit additional crimes.

According to a March 2, 2015 “ICE Weekly Departures and Detention Report” obtained by Center for Immigration Studies expert Jessica Vaughan and shared with Breitbart News, there were 168,680 convicted criminal immigrants who had final orders of removal but who remained at large in the U.S.

Another 179,018 convicted criminal immigrants with deportation cases pending also remained at large.

While the vast majority were not in custody some were detained — namely 6,220 criminal immigrants facing final deportation orders and another 7,680 convicted criminal immigrants with immigration cases pending.

In recent years there has been a focus on the number of annual criminal immigrant releases.

In 2013 the Obama administration released 36,007 criminal immigrants who had nearly 88,000 convictions. Those convictions included 193 homicide convictions, 426 sexual assault convictions, 303 kidnapping convictions, and 1,075 aggravated assault convictions.

In January, the Department of Homeland Security revealed in a 38-page document to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) showing that of those criminals released in 2013, 1,000 had gone on to commit additional crimes including, terroristic threats, lewd acts with a minor, various types of assault, DUI, robbery, hit-and-run, gang activity, rape, and child cruelty.

“The Obama Administration claims that it is using ‘prosecutorial discretion’ to prioritize the removal of criminal aliens from this country. But this report shows the disturbing truth: 1,000 undocumented aliens previously convicted of crimes who the Administration released in 2013 have gone on to commit further crimes in our communities,” Grassley said in January.

In 2014 the administration released another 30,558 criminal immigrants, who had a total of 79,059 convictions.

The convictions included in the 2014 releases included: 86 homicide convictions, 186 kidnapping convictions, 373 sexual assault convictions, 449 commercialized sexual offenses, 1,194 battery convictions, 1,346 domestic violence convictions, and 13,636 DUIs.

“When aliens released onto the streets go on to commit additional crimes yet could have been placed in ICE custody, this Administration is responsible. From January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014, over 10,000 detainers were not honored,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) said in April. “The recidivism rate for these aliens was 29 percent. Innocent citizens and law enforcement officers could be injured, maimed, or murdered due to a detainer not being issued or honored because of this Administration’s policies.”

“The Administration is responsible and will be held accountable,” he added.

Often the administration has pointed to the Supreme Court decision in Zadvydas v. Davis — preventing indefinite detention of immigrants facing deportation, most often when the immigrant’s home country will not take them back. However in recent months lawmakers have chipped away at that response.

In April the House Judiciary Committee revealed that of the 30,558 released criminal immigrants in 2014 just 2,457 were released due to Zadvydas or about eight percent.

In May the Obama administration revealed to the Senate Judiciary Committee that between 2010 and 2014, 121 convicted criminal immigrants with final orders of deportation were never removed and now face murder charges.

“Of these 121 individuals who were bonded out, 33 were released on a bond set by [The Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review] and 24 were released pursuant to the Supreme Court decision in Zadvydas v. Davis,” ICE revealed in a released letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Grassley.

Gun used in fatal San Francisco pier shooting was issued to a US Bureau of Land Management ranger and had been reported stolen, officials report - @ABC

 

[Dafodil]

Things that make you go hmmmm!

 

[mzkitty]

*snip*

The gun used to kill a 32-year-old woman on San Francisco’s waterfront was stolen from a federal Bureau of Land Managementagent in a car burglary in June, sources close to the investigation said Tuesday.

The .40-caliber pistol was stolen from the agent not long before Kathryn Steinle was shot to death July 1 at Pier 14 on the Embarcadero, said one source, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about the case publicly.

Other sources said the weapon was apparently not the agent’s official gun. It was reported stolen in an auto burglary in the downtown area, they said.

San Francisco police confirm weapon recovered from San Francisco Bay near Pier 14 is same used in homicide of Kate Steinle - @kron4news


Updated: July 10, 2015, 3:43 pm

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — San Francisco police Friday have confirmed the gun recovered from San Francisco Bay near Pier 14 is the same gun used in the homicide of Kate Steinle.

Police used a ballistic comparison to confirm that the bullet that hit Steinle was from the gun recovered from the Bay last Thursday.

Sources first told KRON 4 the Sig Sauer pistol was recovered by a police dive team in the bay last Thursday. The source described the weapon as being an expensive, high-end, common police gun.

Forty-five-year-old Francisco Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant, has pleaded not guilty to Steinle’s murder. He has been booked into San Francisco County Jail for homicide.

KRON 4 had also learned Tuesday that the gun used to kill a 32-year-old woman on San Francisco’s Pier 14 belonged to a federal agent, a law enforcement official briefed on the matter told Associated Press on Tuesday.
