At least 2 long guns (rifles) were in the car.
The shotgun was clearly shown in helicopter footage.
Another long gun is also shown being removed and carried away in helicopter footage. It is difficult to see that it was the AR but it was shorter than the shotgun and had what appeared to be front and back pistol grips.
NBC news ran an on-air report that came from ‘multiple sources’ that 4 handguns were used and the AR-15 was left in the car. To my knowledge they have never retracted or corrected that report.
Finally, personnel on site could not tell the differnce between a 9 mm and .223 wound? Amazing.
That's not true. Only the Saiga [Canta] was found in the car and was removed along with its grey carrying case later that night. Look carefully at the videos -- it's a shotgun and its grey carrying case.

Wrong. You heard wrong. And what they said was also wrong and they admitted it in the evening broadcast and apologized for it. And since then have never repeated it.

Wrong. The ME at his press conference on December 15th said that all the wounds he had seen thus far in the autopsies he had done came from the "long weapon" -- the rifle.
