In Omaha. It was an SKS (aka Simonov or type 56 Chinese). BY DEFINITION NOT AN ASSAULT RIFLE, albiet with some modifications can be "converted" to fit the BATFE definition of an assualt rifle. I wish the leftists at the AP would stop calling EVERYTHING and assult rifle.
"Witnesses said the gunman sprayed fired down on shoppers from a third-floor balcony of the Von Maur store using what police said was an SKS assault rifle they found at the scene."
full story here
