Does it sound like a suppressed .22 to anyone else?

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hard to tell because it's a recording, but yeah I was thinking something very small like a 22 short or a high powered BB gun.

Apparently the shooter was in the crowd, which means it wasn't a long gun of any kind. Probably a pistol, something small enough to conceal. 22 makes sense.

.22 is small caliber, even for a pistol.
