It appears he used a glock 9mm. It is a semi-automatic pistol, like most ffr Mar 2018 #3

Actually the officer had a much better chance of taking the shooter down because the kid did NOT Still In Wisconsin Mar 2018 #2

have an assault rifle. If there was ever an argument for making AR-15 and similar rifles impossible to get this would be it. The kid had a handgun- probably semiauto- but NOT a military rifle with a 30 round mag. Had the shooter been armed like the one in Florida, the deputy would have been severely outgunned. Thankfully he was not.
