Officer Down University and County line

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.

Then there isn't an M16

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.

Anyone see the dougco official release? It looked to me like one of the deputies responding to the later call stated they needed to in essence "get him" and that they would have to back off to make plans for doing so while they were standing near the entrance to the apartment. 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.

Here's a bit more body camera footage showing the officers inside. It shows them trying the enter the bedroom, the initial shots, them going back to try to get Parish, and the cam of the officer that went out the window.

Not to be pedantic, but there are Colt and other manufacturers that have produced semi auto only AR type rifles marked M4, M16 etc. Not saying that’s what he had and used just putting out info.

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.

Gotta recalibrate my ears.

AR-15, 45, and shotgun were used. While the fire from the AR is clear and fast, it is not auto.

Most definitely an XD.
