'We don't want our son to be another US gun-death statistic'

Dundee-born Rory Swimm was shot dead in Salt Lake City, Utah a week after his 23rd birthday.

Detectives in Utah believe he was killed by a 15-year-old schoolboy who had been given a handgun by his grandfather as a gift.

His Glasgow-born mother and American father want his death to lead to change.

Robb Swimm wants it made illegal to buy a firearm for someone aged under 18 or, failing that, for new restrictions on where weapons given to teenagers can be stored.

"I don’t want Rory just to be another statistic," he said.
