far police have not arrested anyone for crimes directly related to the shootings. they say they are sorting through a mountain of evidence. >> we received over 170 videos through the qr code we shared with the public. the public has been great about submitting video to us through that portal, so we have to go through a lot of video so our investigators have much work to do. karina: that work includes finding a motive for the shootings that killed six people and left a dozen others wounded. which includes one of those arrested. he is in the hospital with what is being described as a serious gunshot wound. dan: that man was released from prison in february following a 2018 conviction on domestic violence and also with great bodily injury. abc news learned the sacramento county das office pleaded with the parole board to deny his early release, writing "inmate martin for his entire adult life displayed a pattern of criminal behavior." the letter goes on to say martin

committed several felony violations and has little regard for human life and the law. neither martin nor the other two people arrested has been charged with any crime directly related to sunday's shootings. karina: even before the tragedy in sacramento, the sale and any factor of illegal guns has been a top concern for local police and lawmakers. tonight a new law is being concerned that would let private citizens sue anyone who distributes or makes those illegal weapons. zach fuentes has more. zach: ghost guns have become a growing problem in the bay area and across the country. in santa clara county, the district attorney's office says 293 ghost guns were recovered in the county last year, a steep rise compared to 2015, when they only took four. >> a ghost gun is a firearm that can be made at home with pre-manufactured parts. you can order these on the internet. it takes some very simple machining. zach: the ghost guns are not registered and don't have a

serial number, making them untraceable. gun manufacturers can also illegally enhance the guns. >> we have seen handguns converted to full autos. you're talking about a machine gun you can hold in your hand. zach: the self-made firearms in california are legal. they cannot be sold, and if you make you have to get a serial one number. in an effort to reduce the number of ghost guns on the street and sarah clinton county -- in santa clara county, two supervisors partnered on prohibiting the possession and manufacturing of ghost guns. a ghost gun for cash program has been announced. a state senator of l.a. is pushing a new bill that would let private citizens sue anyone who distributes illegal assault weapons, parts that can be used to build them, or guns without serial numbers. the penalty would be at least $10,000 for each weapon. >> we believe that this creates a powerful incentive for folks to get these weapons off the street come out of the hands of criminals.
