Illinois Shooting ... why are they being vague?

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

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.

No matter what it is, tragic for all involved.
 
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.

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.
