I am not trying to make light of the horrible tragedy inflicted by the POS SC shooter, but there is a question that has lingered. From the first reports that I heard survivors were quoted as saying the shooter reloaded five times. It was later reported that the shooter used a .45acp firearm. Even when I heard these first reports it struck me as strange that someone would need to reload a semi-auto handgun 5 times to murder 9 people and wound a 10th.
Since then pictures of the shooter have been released of the shooter holding the pistol believed to have been used. That gun appears to have been a Glock 41. The 41's smallest magazine holds 10 rounds. That would mean that shooter fired between 40 to 50 rounds during the atrocity. It has also been reported that the shooter placed the gun to his own head, in an appearant suicide attempt, only to have the gun strike on an empty chamber( even though it should have locked back on an empty chamber).
Are these reports wrong? Has anyone else heard different reports?
While I don't wish to give this disgusting animal anymore notoriety than necessary, I was hoping to get some others input.
