Court records show Orr can be seen on surveillance video discharging an AR-15 style rifle into the air several times. An East St. Louis police officer later recovered the rifle from a vehicle. According to police, the rifle was loaded with 17 rounds of ammunition in a high-capacity magazine.


The U.S. Justice Department prosecuted Orr as section of its Project Safe Neighborhood, an effort to minimize violent crime.
