Chicago sues Westforth Sports over alleged gun sales
Lawsuit filed
In April 2021, the city of Chicago filed a lawsuit against Indiana gun store Westforth Sports, alleging a pattern of illegal sales that contributed to firearms reaching Chicago's criminal market. The allegations are claims asserted in the lawsuit and do not constitute a court determination. The filing was reported in connection with firearms recovered at crime scenes. No court ruling on the claims is stated in the source material.
