A 14-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of Newark Detective Joseph Azcona, who was shot with a ghost gun modified to function like a machine gun. The device allows rapid firing with one trigger pull. Detective Azcona was shot 29 times while in his patrol car during a gun sweep. His partner was also injured but survived. The teen, who was also shot, has been charged with murder. Ghost guns are untraceable firearms made from kits sold online. The kits can be assembled at home and are often inexpensive, with conversion devices costing as little as $20.
