Hearing postponed for man accused of providing ammo to Vegas shooter

PHOENIX — The court date for an Arizona man accused of providing armor-piercing ammunition to the gunman in last year’s mass shooting in Las Vegas has again been postponed.

The hearing for 55-year-old Douglas Haig was scheduled for Monday but has since been moved to May 21.

Haig was charged with conspiring to make and sell armor-piercing ammunition in February.

Authorities say unfired armor-piercing cartridges found inside the Las Vegas hotel room where Stephen Paddock launched the Oct. 1 attack had Haig’s fingerprints.

Haig maintains he legally sold tracer ammunition — which illuminates the path of bullets — to Paddock in the weeks before the shooting that killed 58 people and ended with Paddock killing himself.

The charge centered on armor-piercing cartridges.

Haig hasn’t yet entered a plea.
