ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Opening arguments are underway in the trial of a woman charged with buying guns a man used to kill two volunteer firefighters on Christmas Eve 2012.
The Associated Press reported that jury selection for Dawn Nguyen’s trial wrapped up Friday afternoon. Prosecutors and her defense attorneys are expected to begin arguments Monday morning, according to the report.
Authorities say Nguyen lied on a gun purchase form when she bought weapons in 2010 for William Spengler Jr., a convicted felon, according to the report.
Spengler set fire to his home in Webster early on the morning of Dec. 24, 2012, then fatally shot two firefighters and wounded two others before committing suicide.
Nguyen was later charged in court with falsifying a business record and faces federal charges for the gun purchases, according to the report.
