Interesting

 Commenter Drew458 says

law enforcement says rifle is a DPMS AR-15 in 5.56, purchased by Cooks’ father over a decade ago. No other info. 

Interesting.  I happen to own a DPMS Model A-15.  I picked it up 2015-16 from a pawn shop.  I think I gave $300 for it.  It's a low-end AR with no frills.  No sights, no dust cover, no forward assist.   It has a middling trigger and is a flattop.

Mine is multi-caliber, marked on the receiver.  Both 5.56 and .223 run through it just fine.  It's not a high-end AR, quite the contrary.  It's the budget model, but it serves me just fine.  Mine has a Vortex red dot that cost about what the rifle did. As it's set up, it is capable of 3 minutes, probably better with a better trigger, better optics, and a better shooter behind the stock.

The gun shop across the street from Crooks’ house sold the kid the ammo he used, and is cooperating fully with authorities. We hear he bought 50 rounds. Tell us what brand, what bullet weight and style. Tell us what DPMS model the rifle is, or at least the barrel length. What optics? Is the rangefinder story true, or did someone just have a monocular to view the event? We know he bought a ladder at Home Depot. What kind, how big. We hear he had a go bag. What was in it? We see pictures of his white van and are told it had crude explosives inside. What kind and how much? Who owns the van? Complete immediate public transparency is called for here; don’t give us any more “sloped roof” level BS. The longer any information is kept under wraps the less the public will believe it, given the entire government’s constant lying.

Sounds like a modern version of a Mannlicher-Carcano, hmm?
