I can't find Paul's "X" info so I'll ask here. Why does he keep referring to the weapon used to attempt to kill President Trump as an "AK" and an "AK-47?" Does he know something the rest of the media doesn't?

I’m not sure. I’ll bring it to his attention. Maybe he misspoke.

Thanks, Chris. Everyone else has titled the weapon as "AR-15 style."

Joey: Paul here. Just got off the air — hectic out here in Butler. There was reporting that it was an AK — but now it does look like an AR. I stand corrected!

Have to tell you, it is refreshing to see someone reporting from "ground zero" who has firsthand experience and knowledge of law enforcement tactics and strategies. No offense to "cb" whoever she is, but your reporting and insight is legs, torso, head, and shoulders above hers.

I imagine you have other professional obligations (as well as personal obligations) that may conflict with reporting from Butler, but it would be nice if you could be our sole source of information as it emerges.
