Illinois Shooting ... why are they being vague?

[ENDER]

High powered rifle? Similar to an AR? Why not just disclose what it is?

I have been asking the same questions.
Maybe its an “Assault Type Hunting Bolt Action” rifle? They need time to figure out what it is and how to ”Frame” the theater?

And within 30 minutes of one of the highest restrictive gun areas in the nation.
Yay....gun control. That worked out well didn't it. {Yeah....that was sarcasm}

Again....gun control will not cure stupid sh$t. "Hello.....McFly"

im betting it was a 10/22 or some other similar rimfire. We cant say that on tv so you gotta go with ar style rifle.

Honestly that was my guess as well. It has to leak soon.

By the audio , I don't think so but that could have been one of 72 other shootings that day in the area

The video that I have viewed sounds like a semi auto rifle. There is a brief burst of rounds followed by 20 +/- rounds fired off as fast as a trigger can be pulled. Fairly loud report from the shots.

He had a Kel-Tec SUB-2000 - not sure if this is what was used from the roof though.

ETA: Sounds like he also had a Remington 700.

 

[HK12Step]

It’s being reported the rifle used/recovered was a S&W M&P15, the SUB-2000 was in the car with him when apprehended and the PIO also said he had purchased the Remington 700, a shotgun and a Glock 43x.
