Just what it sounded like from the audio I heard.

Looked at the photos today. There was no bump stock mounted, and the safety on the weapon did not look like the proprietary safeties that come with the Franklin or Fostech binaries. In fact, it appears to have a 45° selector, which isnt compatible with either, as far as I know.

The man who killed a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy on New Year’s Eve and wounded four others had 15 guns inside his apartment and all were acquired legally, according to the sheriff.

Of those 15 guns, 11 were in working condition, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said.

Matthew Riehl fired four of them -- an M-16, an M-4, a shotgun and a handgun. The guns are still being examined, but from visual evidence, none appeared to be fully automatic, Spurlock said.

Then there isn't an M16

Another report said 3 guns used. Very similar to the above list, but the shotgun is a Benelli M4 (rather than a shotgun AND a M4). However, they say the handgun is a Glock, when it clearly is not.

That was my first thought. And there isn't an M4 either. Basically he had 2 AR-15 type rifles.

ETA: Seeing as the source is CBS, they're basically useless when it comes to reporting accurate information pertaining to firearms. Bunch of dolts. All it would take is talking to anyone in the know and saying "Hey, tell us what kind of guns these are, so we don't end up looking like massive idiots."

Everyone knows every pistol used in a crime is a Glock with a hi-capacity clip and every rifle is either an automatic AR or AK with a banana clip.

I wonder if the assailant overheard that and started making plans himself... May or may not have happened that way.

I heard that too. It's certainly possible the bad guy heard that. Sounds like he piled stuff in the hallway inside too which does indicate he had some time to get "ready" for them.

The pic is too blurry for me to make an absolute call on this, but given that the end cap of the guide rod is sticking out about 1/16" from the frame my guess is that it's a Springfield XD of some sort.
