According to what witnesses are telling investigators, by the time the shootings ended, the gunman was seen with a semiautomatic 9 mm pistol and an AR-15 assault rifle. Authorities are investigating whether the gunman took the D.C. police officers’ rifle.

This report states that the shooter, Aaron Alexis, was armed only with a shotgun as he entered the building. He then ambushed first responders and took their weapons and ammunition, creating his arsenal by acquisition as he carried out his attack.

If this account is true, there is a chance that the rifle in question was not an AR-15, but a selective-fire M4 or M16.

If that proves to be the case, then this would be the first time in the history of the United States that a legal (until it was taken), selective-fire assault rifle was used in a violent crime
