Scott’s Guns Link to Fatal Shootings | Kansas City News

On day six of the Fredrick Scott trial, a pawnshop owner revealed Scott bought four 9mm guns over separate visits — all later reported stolen, often right after shootings. A SCCY 9mm found at Scott’s home matched one of those purchases, and he admitted using it to kill Steve Gibbons, initially claiming he’d tossed it off a bridge. Live rounds and shell casings at his home and crime scenes matched the 9mm/.380 caliber weapons, tying him directly to the murders. Despite the grim evidence, Scott showed rare emotion in court, smiling and nodding as five supporters — including his mother — cheered him on. Sixty witnesses have already testified for the state, while delays spanning nearly a decade due to mental competency issues and legal upheaval continue to shape this high-stakes case.
