50 are rare, that would limit it to one type handgun ...

I can thinnk of only one (in 50AE). There may be a few otherws, but they would be even more uncommon. What I'm wondering is would the type of person that generaly buys one of those (hunters, collectors) be the type that does this kind of shooting? Could be a stolen gun, I guess. Ammo for them is not real common (like at a walmart) and the source could probably be located, maybe giving a hint as to the shooter.

I am betting the statement that it was a 50 Cal. was made by some media snipe that would not know a .50 from a air rifle. I hope they catch this nut soon.
I just am offended when the media "experts" start quoting gun facts from unknown sources.
The scary part is that a lot of "professional law enforcement" individuals, do not have a clue either.
