What guns were really used at Sandy Hook? [View all]

I have a right wing-nut friend on FaceBook saying today that there were four "hand guns" used in the school based on an MSNBC news video

http://video.today.msnbc.msn.com/today/50208495#50208495.

This appears to be a news report on December 15 so I think it's dated. The video does say there is an update to the story but I can't link to it for some reason.

I originally heard a Bushmaster rifle was one of the weapons used in the school along with two hand guns and a shotgun was left in the trunk.

Does anyone really know?
