My cousin down in Texas brought this to my attention this evening. if this video shows the rifle recovered from the trunk of Adam Lanza’s vehicle then there was no bushmaster AR-15 recovered at the scene.
The video is grainy on my phone, but I thought that it didn’t look like an AR-15 with the way he was working the action and it looked too thin (where is the magazine well?). The charging handle latch on an AR would be on the left side and further back. He pulls back on a latch on the right hand side and further forward. My initial thought was that it looked more like an AK-47 pattern rifle without a magazine, but that would be consistent with a semi-auto shotgun as well. After watching the video 3 times I am almost positive that this is a semi-auto shotgun or a semi-auto deer rifle. This firearm is definitely not an AR-15.

The segment I am referring to starts at about 1:15
