Chardon OH high school shooting info?

**JBubba57** · February 28th, 2012, 11:16 AM

Anyone know what weapon was used (make, caliber, barrel, etc.) in the Chardon OH school shooting yesterday? I haven't seen anything listed so far in reports, which is curious. Descriptions of the shooting suggest a handgun. Or have I just missed the info?

There is a thread already open on the Ohio shooting...

Thanks.

Before posting, I looked for a thread first and didn't find one. I'm a member here and posted here quickly, rather than looking for an OH gun users group to join and ask there.

That thread you gave is in Miscellaneous>The Lounge (and so far has nothing on the weapon, except some assume a handgun--"Isosceles or Weaver?"), and this one is in Law & Politics>National (since it's not a PA shooting), so I think I'll leave mine up and hope for some early info from those in the know.

From my own experience (I'm a forensic pathologist), the media usually reports it wrong on weapons and ammo (intentionally?) and in a very gun-negative light, but those in the community or involved in the EMS or Police investigation usually have the proper info that we should make sure is out there, without jeopardizing privacy, life-saving, or criminal investigations, obviously.
