About six years ago, Joe Gomez got his guns back.
Police had seized the firearms a shotgun, three handguns and two assault rifles after the military veteran with a criminal history was arrested in 2014 on suspicion of felony possession of marijuana. About a year later, a judge signed an order for police to release the weapons, including a .45-caliber handgun, to Gomez’s attorney, according to court records.
On Thursday afternoon, a man armed with a .45-caliber handgun who was identified by a police source as 46-year-old Gomez nearly unleashed a mass shooting at San Antonio International Airport.
