A man who sold a pistol to a man who used it to hold four hostages inside a Colleyville synagogue before being fatally shot by the FBI was sentenced Monday to nearly eight years in prison for a federal gun crime.
Williams, who was previously convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and attempted possession of a controlled substance, sold Akram a semi-automatic pistol on Jan. 13. Prosecutors said that in plea papers, Williams admitted to possession of that firearm despite his prior conviction.
"This defendant, a convicted felon, had no business carrying - much less buying and selling - firearms," U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham said in a news releaseAkram, a 44-year-old British citizen, held hostages while demanding the release of a federal prisoner. The standoff ended after more than 10 hours when the temple's rabbi threw a chair at Akram and fled with the other two remaining hostages just as an FBI tactical team was moving in. None of the hostages were injured.
