According to an LNP article, District Attorney Craig Stedman has identified the rifle used in Friday's shooting as a Savage Model 11 .22-250 bolt action rifle with a scope (similar to the one shown above).
The type of ammunition used in the rifle is described below:
The Australian Special Air Service Regiment used Tikka M55 sniper rifles chambered in .22-250 for urban terrorism duties in the 1980s, in an attempt to reduce excessive penetration and ricochets.[8]
Under 18 should have no access to this type of weapon or any other.
