Found Gun Could Be Hudson Shootings Murder Weapon

The gun found yesterday in an alley a block from where the body of murdered 7-year-old Julian King was discovered matches the caliber of gun (.45) used in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew, based on comparisons with shell casings found at the murder scene. A witness reported seeing a white vehicle drive through the alley and dump something. Still, police are remaining cautious since the area has high gang activity and consider it unlikely a suspect would drop a murder weapon so close to a crime scene.

I'm old enough to remember a satiric commentary by Frank Reynolds close to 40 years ago complaining about the incompetent criminals we have in this country. He said we needed a better class of criminal.

If this is the murder weapon, just how stupid was the shooter to have dumped it so close to where the child's body was found & so easy to find?
