Found this while researching an old .380 pistol.  It's supposedly a list of crimes committed with firearms, what firearms where used, and if they were obtained legally or illegally.

I'll have to look forit, but I think the shooting was done with the SKS, the perp had the .50 in the car unused.

I actually remember when that one happened.  the shooter was the disgruntled ex-husband of one of the cashiers and he opened up on her one night in the King Soopers parking lot with an SKS and hit a couple of other people as well.  The news didn't really sensationalize it as much as they probably would now but that's all they kept showing was the .50 sitting in the parking lot after the cops got it out of the trunk.  It was like the cops were posing it.  It was really just treated as a domestic violence issue rather than a gun issue if I remember it right at the time.

Seems like we turn out more than our fair share of wackos in Colorado.

You can tell it wasnt used in the crime, cause 50 cals have tendency not to wound people shot with them.

They dont differentiate between the perps and the victims for dead/wounded.
