This led to the creation of Operation Ballistic Backlog with ATF agents assisting to test all the firearms and registering them in the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, or NIBIN. ATF Assistant Special Agent in Charge St. Paul Field Office Spence Burnett says, "When it finds a match, investigators get a lead. That lead may connect two shootings in the same neighborhood, or it might connect a gun found on Pine Ridge to somewhere else entirely. File offenders move; they don't stay in one place, and the evidence they leave stays there at their crime scene."
