Judge Iwasaki presided over many notable cases . He heard the Trolley Square shooting case in 2007 , where a shooting spree resulted in the death of five bystanders . In a wrongful death and personal injury civil action brought by a shooting victim , Judge Iwasaki ruled that a jury would decide whether the guns sold to the gunman by a local pawn shop were sold legally . At the heart of the issue is whether the Mossberg 88 pistol-grip , 12-gauge weapon qualifies as a “ shotgun . ” It is illegal to sell a firearm to a person under 21 , with the exception of shotguns and rifles . The weapon purchased came with a pistol grip , and plaintiffs claimed that made the sale of the gun illegal
