A Texas company defending itself in a fast-moving federal copyright lawsuit in Orlando has filed court papers declaring that the killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson used a 3D-printed pistol and silencer built from digital printing files provided by a Florida-based “black-market operator.”

That assertion is contained in court papers filed Dec. 27 by Defense Distributed against an entity known as “The Gatalog,” Lake Worth lawyer Matthew Larosiere and other alleged principals of The Gatalog. The papers were filed as a counterclaim in a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by Larosiere against competitor Defense Distributed and its CEO, Cody Wilson, on Sept. 6 and amended on Dec. 11.
