10 killed, 10 injured.

When I first read the story this morning about 6:00, it said, "They said there was a man with a machine gun in the area. The shooter, they said, had multiple rounds of ammunition, so that once his ammunition ran out he reloaded, Choi said."

I looked at it again about 7:30 and it had changed to, "They said there was a man with a semiautomatic gun in the area..."

I send an email to one of the writers asking why the change, since they were quoting witnesses and the police have not identified what weapon was used.

I am pretty sure why it was changed- politics. Machine guns are illegal. Semi automatics are a current hot button issue for leftists. Claiming a semi auto was used is likely to stir up more emotional support for the banning of the guns.

I could be wrong and there was new information presented between the times I read the article.

But I doubt it.
