ABC News misleads again

Found it at Newsbusters:

This is just a lie. They know better but they're hoping you don't. For your information, EBAY does NOT sell ammo or guns.

Below is an excerpt from the article at the ABC news site:

Ammo from eBay:
Officials Probe VT Killer's Account
Seung-Hui Cho Bought Ammunition for a Gun Like One Used in the Virginia Tech Massacre on the Online Auction Site

By CHRISTOPHER FRANCESCANI and JAY SHAYLORABC News Law & Justice Unit

Cho apparently purchased a two-pack of 10-round ammunition clips for a Walther P22 on March 22, 2007, less than a month before killing 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech. The ammunition was purchased on eBay from Elk Ridge Shooting Supplies. Police have said Cho used a Walther P22 during his bloody rampage Monday.

In addition to purchasing ammunition online, Cho appears to have sold used copies of books filled with violent themes and overtones on an eBay affiliated Web site called half.com.
