These statements contradict each other: "All seven were shot in the head at close range with handguns" and "cartridges identified the murder weapons as a .30 caliber carbine...". A carbine is not a handgun, it is a long gun, essentially a rifle with a short barrel. ☆ Bri (talk) 04:23, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
It looks like someone took that out. That appears to come from the New York Times article; the Free Press's coverage, closer to the scene, does not say that. Daniel Case (talk) 05:13, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
