In press conferences that have been held since 12/14, the Connecticut State Police have identified all of the weapons seized from the crime scene at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

"To eliminate any confusion or misinformation, we will again describe and identify the weapons seized at the school crime scene," Connecticut State Police Spokesman Lt J. Paul Vance said Friday, January 18, via a press release.

Seized inside the school were the following: a Bushmaster .223 caliber-- model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round clips; a Glock 10 mm handgun; and a Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun.

Seized from the suspect’s car in parking lot was a Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun.

The case remains under investigation.

How many Germans did Sgt Alvan York kill using a 5 shot clip loading bolt action rifle?

[Uncle Chip]

others resort to mature, reasoned discussion, something you're sorely lacking.

and those "others" would be the Sandy Hook Truthers right???

***The 1903 Springfield***

There was a time when Springfield or Rock Island were making a sports rifle in competition with Winchester and Remington.

They were told to stop as it was not right for a government arsenal to be in competition with US gunmakers.

someone tell the spokesperson they are magazines, not clips. what a jackass

[JaguarXKE]

It's right there in black and white. Sigh. It's a poorly worded headline was my point. They identified the weapons used in the shooting, not weapons used "in the investigation."

[Uncle Chip]

Must have painted those from memory. None of that is Ozark country.

[JaguarXKE]

My point was...were the weapons really “used in the investigation?” It’s a poorly written headline. Should read: “State Police Investigation Identifies Weapons Used in Sandy Hook Shooting.”

Canta 12?

Dumbasses.

That's "саига 12"

саига is pronounced "saiga".

You can't just pick the English letter it looks most like and pronounce it that way.

Go troll some one else.

[rolling_stone]

ao what was Eric of fast and furious fame Holder doing there? why no real press releases until now?

>>> I should HOPE that the state police didn't use this terminology.

Hard for me to imagine Feds and State Police interchanging ‘assault’ rifles - shot guns or clip - magazines as being reported so sloppily.

The more cynic side of me thinks this new report did very little to clarify (keep in mind the medical examiner's earlier report), it only spurs even more debate. Judging from the # of posts, it's doing a ‘great job’.

Photo Op — to show that he is on top of everything when he really is not.

Do ya think that if he had something nefarious to conduct that he would do it in broad daylight calling attention to his presence there???? and the families of the 26 dead would allow for it???

My goodness — the truthers on this site give the conspiracy theorists here a bad name.

They’ve been whining for a month that there has been no official announcement about the shooting and then when one comes in about the weapons used they all go ballistic.

They need to grow up —

[Uncle Chip]

So then by “Canta” they actually mean “Saiga”.

[Postnbeam]

Which one of Obama’s Orders address this...
“ Mom I need a hug, cant you put your arms around me?” “Sure son, here's a a Bushmaster .223 caliber— model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round clips; a Glock 10 mm handgun; Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun and Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun.”

[Uncle Chip]

You've been reduced to name-calling by a press release from the same state police that for weeks you have been criticizing for not releasing an official report on the shooting.

What a shame.

Some of us FReepers don’t want this site to turn into an Alex Jones style truther den, and feel compelled to combat the rabid, irresponsible junk that keeps getting posted on this topic. If you are looking for a “hidden agenda”, then there it is. No need to start yet another conspiracy theory.

[Lancey Howard]

"A man with a gun who was spotted in the woods near the school on the day of the incident was an off-duty tactical squad police officer from another town, according to the source."

Oh. Okay. Haha. Of course. Happens all the time.

Not your responsibility to censor FR. Or if your combativeness is sanction by the operators of FR, then the rest of us should be told.

[hiredhand]

I don’t know the exact number... but he killed a LOT of them. So many that an even greater number surrendered to him.
