Ex-Alabama cop killed wife with gun state took away and then returned: report

A former Alabama cop who dragged his wife out of a bar and gunned her down in 2019 used a weapon that authorities had taken away — and then returned — after he shot and injured her nine months prior, a report said Friday.

Officials gave Jason McIntosh the firearm back two weeks before the deadly Nov. 30, 2019 domestic incident, according to NBC News. The reversal came despite pending domestic violence charges against McIntosh, and an active protection order from his estranged wife, Megan Montgomery, the report said.
