I'd still like to know how in depth those ballistic tests are. Are they checking lans and grooves or just the fact that it was from a .223 cal rifle?

Fox 5 News, on their post-ballgame news tonight, said that the bullet fragments recovered from this morning's shooting had come from the same weapon. They may have been misspeaking out of ignorance, saying that it was from the same weapon rather than saying it's simply the same type of ammo, I dunno. For previous shootings, media have reported that the same type of ammo was used or merely that the cases were linked based on ballistics evidence, but tonight they specifically said that the bullet fragments had come from the same weapon.
