Nazi-obsessed felon sentenced to prison for illegal guns, ammo

PITTSBURGH — A Nazi-obsessed Pittsburgh man was sentenced to prison for illegally possessing guns and ammunition.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Dennis Riggs will spend nearly three years in prison followed by three years of probation.

Riggs, a felon, was found with seven guns and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition. A search of his home and cellphone found he was obsessed with Nazi ideology, Adolf Hitler and mass shooters.

Authorities said they also found a video of the 2010 New Zealand mosque shootings that killed 51 and a photo of Dylann Roof, who was convicted of killing nine churchgoers in 2015 at a church in Charleston because he wanted to start a race war.
