Cops on the scene before the shooting, and STILL can’t get a straight story. Now a different firearm is blamed.

“Authorities initially said the weapon was a semiautomatic rifle, but Meeks said investigators now believe one gunman opened fire with a handgun.”

According to Heavy.com the police were already there and the shooter got away. How does that happen?

“Shooting 20 people with a rifle that only holds 7 rounds in the magazine.”

Definitely Quigley shots.

Picked this up from Twitter. It purports to be the party announcement. Can’t vouch for authenticity. Sorry I couldn’t get the graphic to post, but FWIW:

Jingle Bells. Batman smells.
Robin laid an egg.
The batmobile lost a wheel
And the Joker got away.

Was it rim-fire or center-fire bullets?

I’ve got no idea or information on that. The only .227 I and Pontiac mentioned in POST 5 was an early 1900’s Lever Action Rifle.

Other information I saw was the Rounds having a Stepped or Necked down Case so I’ll speculate Centerfire.

I'm sure it was a Webley-Vickers 50.80.

Boy! These mass shooters are some rich rare firearm collectors.

If I had this guy’s guns they would be Safe Queens.

Oh, no!

They had two or probably three of these very rare rifles!

These fellows are time traveling assassins from the past.

And the 30-30 was a necked down 38-55.

How is that for evolution?

If you had read the comments instead of simply blindly posting, you'd have noticed that someone else already posted that graphic three and a half HOURS before you..
