Sheriff: Manhunt subject should never have had gun

ST. LOUIS PARK, MN - Authorities say the suspect who led dozens of law enforcement officers on a daylong manhunt before committing suicide in Jordan should never have had a gun.

The Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/16BcQwy ) reports 41-one-year-old David Michael Winters was prohibited from possessing firearms because he was a convicted felon and a gang member with a history of criminal behavior.

Winters became the manhunt's subject after exchanging gunfire with police outside a St. Louis Park business on Tuesday.
