Brent Weisberg, a spokesman for the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, said the firearm Huricks used to threaten store employees was made of metal tubing, screws, springs and other items readily available at hardware stores. He said that based on testing conducted by the Oregon State Police, it was determined that the firearm could be used as a deadly weapon.
The DA's office was also vocal about the type of gun Huricks used.
"In each incident, he used what appeared to be a shotgun or a long rifle. His proclivity toward homemade firearms is particularly concerning because no laws prevent him from purchasing the materials needed to construct future weapons and potentially victimize more people," Collins said.
