Two boys playing found an AK-47 that Warren County Sheriff’s investigators said was used months ago in the attempted murder of one of their deputies.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. Sunday, the boys — playing in the area behind Jonathan Lane in Landen — found the weapon used in the shooting of Deputy Sheriff Katie Barnes on June 9, 2016.
The weapon, a Century Arms RAS AK-47, was found in an area which is best described as a drainage or run-off area; yet near a pond searched a year and half ago. The weapon itself was not functional in its current condition, yet it had one live round chambered, and additional ammunition in the magazine, according to Barry K. Riley, chief deputy.

Problem is shooter walks in circles, K-9 picks one way to track, shooter tosses weapon in one direction and hopes it's not the one the K-9 is tracking. Quite common and most weapons are found by luck.
