Wayne LaPierre is resigning as chief executive officer of the National Rifle Association of America following years of controversy surrounding the lobby group’s finances.
The move, which comes on the eve of a civil trial against LaPierre and the gun-rights group, will take effect at the end of this month, the organization said in a statement on its website. LaPierre cited health reasons as a reason for his decision. The NRA’s Head of General Operations Andrew Arulanandam will become interim CEO.
