"Police officers reportedly heard a gunshot nearby while they were directing traffic in the area. Authorities reportedly determined that Toigo shot the squirrel.
The firearm used to shoot the squirrel was not the semi-automatic rifle that police later confiscated. Officers also seized "several" other guns, even though they were not used in a crime and were legal.
"As the investigation progressed the officers seized several firearms from the home for safe keeping," Officer Jeffrey Nielsen said in a press release . "That included the assault riffle and the three high capacity magazine he did not have registered."
To reiterate, police confiscated "several" of the man's other firearms, even though Nielsen admitted the majority of them were registered and legal.
Toigo will not get his guns back until his case is heard. Depending on the outcome of the case, he will then have to petition the police department to get his firearms back."
Guilty until proven innocent in topsy turvy Connecticut.
