It has been four years since the deadly mass shooting at the Henry Pratt Company in Aurora – after which it was discovered that the gunman's Firearm Owners Identification Card had been revoked, but he still had a gun.
Since October, Aurora police have been participating in a special program aimed at making sure that never happens again.In many cases, the procedures involved are as simple as a door knock. But the program is helping get guns out of the hands of residents who shouldn't have them.
"It can be as simple as maybe going into rehab, or threatening to harm themselves or someone else," said Aurora police Special Operations Sgt. Thomas Maguire. Memorials to the five people killed at the Henry Pratt Co. in Aurora, Illinois, at a ceremony marking the fifth anniversary of the mass shooting., had his FOID card revoked five years prior. But he still had his gun. At the time, Aurora police didn't have the time or money to devote to those types of compliance checks."That money allows us to put in extra time outside of our regular duties to go out and conduct these knock-and-talks," Maguire said.
