Was it ever established that he used the Bushmaster in the school? There were conflicting reports that it was in the trunk of his car.
Yes, the police confirmed it. One media source falsely reported the AR was found in his car but the video they had it was obvious it was a shotgun they were pulling out, not an AR. The media just doesn’t know the difference. Unfortunately, that bad story just won’t die.
The “Canta” shotgun referred to is known as Saiga in the U.S. ...also, Saigas can have the Russian spelling stamped on them, and Canta is what someone thinks the Cyrillic letters look like if compared to English letters.
** UPDATE **
STATE POLICE IDENTIFY WEAPONS USED IN SANDY HOOK INVESTIGATION;
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
In previous press conferences, the Connecticut State Police clearly identified all of the weapons seized from the crime scene at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
To eliminate any confusion or misinformation, we will again describe and identify the weapons seized at the school crime scene.
Seized inside the school:
#1. Bushmaster .223 caliber— model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round magazine
#2. Glock 10 mm handgun
#3. Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun
Seized from suspect’s car in parking lot:
#4. Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun (seized from car in parking lot)
The shooter used the Bushmaster .223 to murder 20 children and six adults inside the school; he used a handgun to take his own life inside the school. No other weapons were used in this crime. This case remains under investigation.

It was to me.
The was one early report that the Bushy was in the trunk that has led to 9/11 Truther levels of conspiracy theory nonsense.
I have it on really good authority that there was lots of .223/5.56 brass at the school. From a person I know well and trust, who heard this from his relative who was a first responder with considerable time on the scene.
