Man Who Sold Sandy Hook Weapons Pleads Guilty

The gun shop staffer who sold Nancy Lanza two of the weapons used in the Sandy Hook massacre has now pleaded guilty to federal gun charges--on another violation, for weapon sold at the same time.

Krystopher Dibella, the man who sold the Bushmaster rifle used by Adam Lanza in the Newtown massacre, has pleaded guilty to a federal charge stemming from a gun sale at Riverview Gun Sales, which was raided days after the massacre.

Dibella pleaded guilty Monday afternoon in federal court in Bridgeport to aiding and abetting a failure to make a proper entry on an ATF 4473 form, which is a firearms transaction form.

The offense occurred March 15, 2010, the court clerk’s office said, the same date Nancy Lanza began her purchase of the rifle.

Dibella is a former employee of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor, Conn., a store raided by the ATF in the wake of the Newtown massacre.
