Man Turns Water Gun Into Shotgun In Southeast Fresno, Police Say - KMPH FOX 26 | Central San Joaquin Valley News Source
FRESNO, Calif. (KMPH) - Among the 100 or so guns confiscated in southeast Fresno over the last three months, Sergeant Mark Hudson says one in particular certainly stands out.
"It's dangerous for those officers being out on the street to see something like this obviously," Hudson said.
Fresno Police say 54-year-old Randy Smith was walking in the area of Barton and Nevada on Saturday night.
He had a "Super Soaker" water gun hanging around his neck from a sling.
Normally, officers might not think much of it.
But police say they were just briefed about people turning toys into shotguns.
So they stopped Smith, and sure enough, instead of water inside his gun, he had a real shotgun shell.
"He took the Super Soaker apart, was able to fashion a barrel to where he was able to make what's considered a zip gun, where you can fire one round through it. In this case it was a 20 gauge shotgun shell," Hudson said.
