Charles, I’m open to any knowledge - why have we seen all the videos of the police opening the trunk and taking out a rifle. It was dark and flashlights were moving around but they did show that.

It wasn’t a rifle, it was a shotgun. Some media sources misidentified it as a rifle on the first day, but if you watch the video, it is clearly a shotgun.

“Adam Lanza brought three weapons inside Sandy Hook Elementary school on December 14 and left a fourth in his car, police said. Those weapons were a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and two handguns — a Glock 10 mm and a Sig Sauer 9 mm.

In the car he left a shotgun, about which police have offered no details. Lanza used one of the handguns to take his own life, although police haven’t said whether the gun was the Glock or the Sig Sauer.”

Did you watch the video? Do you think it looks like a rifle, or as boogieman noted, isn’t it just a shotgun?

I can’t fathom why people are taking the initial, horribly inaccurate reports from the news media, and pretending they are the MOST ACCURATE part of the story. First reports are almost always wrong.

Of course, I bet some people still think Ryan Lanza did the shooting — after all, that’s what the news told us.
