Interesting observation. CNN Connie Chung tonight has a female reporter stating, the assailant is using a "high-caliber assault rifle or hunting rifle"....

Holding up a round, the reporter states, "it's a high caliber weapon"

I think it's fair comment that the reporter "doesn't know the nice end from the naughty end," as they say. It isn't an assault rifle (unless the perp has a Class III license, which I doubt), and it isn't really a hunting rifle either, because .223 isn't a good caliber for anything larger than varmints . . . marginal on deer and I think it may be a prohibited caliber for that use. Probably it's a "varmint rifle" but the reporter will fly to Jupiter before she understands that.

Police were also still looking for a white cargo van, and had refined their description of the vehicle, but did not release the additional details

I think they have a general description of the suspects and they're deliberately not releasing it to the public.
