I read somewhere that the BG shot Chuck with a .40 or 10mm, and that Chuck used a .38 or .357 revolver.
Don't remember where, it might have been in the comments to a TTAG article.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/01/us/new-mexico-motel-shooting/Albuquerque police said they have yet to question de Caro, who had surgery for his wounds. The gunman wanted money and other valuables, she said.
She told him she would look in her purse to see what they had. She reached down and put into the purse one of two handguns the couple had in a side table. She gave the handbag to her husband.
Russell said the guns were legal, something police are still investigating.
The man's behavior was increasingly erratic, Russell said. He told them to get a briefcase he saw.
The couple explained there was nothing of value in the bag, Russell said, but the man lunged at them and "went around the bed and then opened fire on Chuck. There was a firefight inside the room."
De Caro was shot once in the leg and twice in the abdomen.He fired all the rounds in the first handgun, then picked up the other and shot the man, whom police identified in a statement as the "offender in the altercation." He was found in the parking lot and later died at a hospital, CNN affiliate KOAT-TV in Albuquerque reported.
