Police seize 38 guns from sex offender

The new multi-jurisdictional Gun Tracing Task Force arrested a convicted sex offender early Tuesday morning in Baltimore and seized 38 illegal guns, including a sawed-off shotgun and a 9 mm Uzi-style automatic weapon.

“You really can?t ask these men and women to do more than this kind of action,” acting Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld said at an afternoon news conference at police headquarters. “What you see right before you is really an incredibly deadly arsenal not unlike weapons that are being used too frequently in murders and nonfatal shootings in the city.”
