SPD Investigates Missile Launcher Collected At Buyback



SEATTLE, Wash.  (Metro)  -- Seattle Police say they'll consult the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigation Division today in an effort to get information on a missile launcher that turned up at the Police Department's gun buyback event over the weekend. 

Authorities say a man told officers he had just bought the launcher from another man at the event for $100. 

Police say such launchers are controlled military items that are not available to civilians through any government surplus or disposal program.
