    The first photo here reminded me to ask, what happened to the two men in the van? I think one legally owned the guns but the sheriff’s dept held on to them. Did he ever get his property returned? Can NEVER depend on WEAR or the Snooze Journal to have a follow-up on any news story.
    Just curious, anyone know the final outcome of this..?
