If you click on the Texas news channel link you can see a video where an AR is visible  :-\

Those Texans have good eyes- I can't tell the difference between an AR15 and an M16 a much more than 10 ft!

Must have been a very slow automatic rifle- people could hear & count the number of shots!

Or, could it be sloppy journalism?

It is the NYT and I usually don't use for anything but emergency toliet paper at the deer camp but this article seemed to have the most info.

Although, as you pointed out, probably false info.

I am concerned with another incident involving an AR and how the media will react with this

gryphon:
bagz, this was NOT a Texas A&M shooting.  It was some guy who was getting evicted from his house shooting the cop coming there to evict him.  It was not on campus and it has nothing to do with the school.

yance:
I like how they could identify an "automatic rifle" in a picture, tell me, how can they identify it as being full auto from a picture of it laying under a car?


Also, thread title is a little misleading, the shooting happened NEAR Texas A&M  ;)
