Update on the IRJ site: Editorial note: Update - State Police Confrim Weapons Used in Newtown Shootings

So the "clarification" states that both a Bushmaster .223 caliber rifle and two handguns were seized from Lanza's dead body in the school, but the "clarification" did not state if the rifle was used exclusively in the shootings or a combination of rifle and handguns.

NBC was wrong as were others then. I heard the coroner after he examined the bodies and he described the bullets and that they came from that AR-15 and no other weapon. Where this got screwed up in reporting, was, there was a report a rifle was in his car, so a reporter or reporters assumed that was the AR-15 and he only used a hand gun to shoot. There was another rifle in the car but it wasn't an AR-15 and was never used in that school. The killer shot himself with a handgun.
