Assuming that the author doesn't know the difference between a semi-auto and a full-auto firearm (safe assumption, as they never do), and that they are wrongly calling a semi-auto an "assault rifle",then (Ruger makes one)
There are probably others, but this is the only one that I know of.
Yeah, that was my question too. I can't believe someone could be shot 9 times with a rifle and survive, it would be tough to survive being shot with a 9mm handgun. TEC 9 maybe?
Hi-Point & marlin both make a semi-auto "rifle" there more along the line of a carbine really for firing small caliber pistol ammo for the control of pests. Combined with modern police body armor the trooper is lucky, but blunt force trauma to the shest right over the heart can in fact kill a person even if wearing armor.

To the MSM a .22 cal lever action is an assault rifle. A .22 cal bolt action with a 15 round clip would be some serious (series) firepower to the lefty gun grabbers.
I'd bet on a Hi-Point carbine. They're semi-auto, but that's close enough for most reporters. Ugly, but cheap, and reputed to go bang every time the trigger is pulled.
Colt makes a 9mm 'M-16" lookalike, also in 7.62X39 and others IIRC.
