There are still a lot of conflicting stories even on CNN between different reporters. However it looks like the Bushmaster was the weapon used, and not found in the car as reported earlier. And it's on the edge of legality depending on how it was outfitted (eg an extended magazine for instance) .. likely classed as a sporting weapon under existing laws.
The Bushmaster .223 is an AR-15 varient. It's the same rifle used by the Washington snipers. Earlier reports said the shooter was using 15 round magazines. Judging from the number of hits on each victim, he must have fired a lot of rounds.
