A Texas teen, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, accused of murdering 10 people via gun point at Santa Fe High School, purchased his ammunition from Luckygunner.com before the shooting took place.
The website never required the teen to confirm his identity, age, or create an account. Pagourtzis was 17 at the time, which makes this a violation of federal law.
Additionally, the law “bars licensed gun companies from selling handgun or shotgun ammunition to minors or anyone they have reason to believe is under the age of 21.”
Fox News reported:
According to an amended lawsuit filed Thursday, Pagourtzis – who was 17 at the time of the shooting – initially ordered 50 rounds of hollow-point handgun ammunition and 105 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Two weeks later, he purchased an additional 35 rounds of shotgun ammunition — both times from the website Luckygunner.com, which did not require him to make an account, submit proof of age or set up a secure two-step authorization, the filing said.
The parents of an exchange student who was murdered in the mass shooting filed the amended petition against the parents of the suspect’s parents, stating that the parents are at fault for not properly locking away their firearms and for failing to address their child’s extreme behavior.

Luckygunner.com, along with its owners, Red Stag, have been listed as additional defendants in the amended lawsuit, which claims Red Stag mailed the ammunition via FedEx without requiring an adult to sign for the package.
Everytown Law, the legal arm for Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, a nationwide group, filed the petition on behalf of Abdul Aziz Sheikh and Farah Naz, the parents of Sabika Sheikh, who arrived as an exchange student in August 2017.
Sheikh’s parents continue the fight to advocate for a safer future and proper accountability.
