noise suppressor

Gen. Juma Gul Hemat, the police chief of Nangarhar Province, said law enforcement had captured the Taliban “mastermind” of the attack at one of the scenes, who was carrying a pistol with a noise suppressor.

In its probe, Hillard Heintze described purchases by Craddock of several handguns, body armor and a noise suppressor.

He said he turned a corner on his way to a stairwell and came face-to-face with Craddock, who was armed with a handgun with a noise suppressor.

The police chief said at least one had a noise suppressor.

Because Craddock’s weapon was equipped with a noise suppressor, Benn told his wife, the shots “sounded like a nail gun up on the roof.”
