Anthony Kruger was federally indicted last May after charges against him for the death of Jeremiah Medenwald were dropped. Police say Kruger remains a person of interest in the unsolved case.
The high court ruled that a semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock is not a 'machinegun' because it does not fire more than one shot 'by a single function of the trigger.'
