Feds charge woman in connection with nightclub shooting
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Federal authorities have arrested a 33-year-old woman in connection with the nightclub shooting that left two teens dead and more than a dozen others injured in the southwestern Florida town of Fort Myers.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says in a news release sent Friday that Jazmin Challana Barron of Lee County was charged with making false statements on the purchase of a firearm.
Authorities say on Feb. 20 she bought a MasterPiece Arms pistol from a gun dealer and gave a false address. The statement says the gun later was used in the Club Blu shooting on July 25 and recovered near the scene.
