Correct the terminology: 'as well as a loaded AK-47 assault rifle and several magazine rounds.' Magazines for firearms are loaded with rounds, so they would become loaded magazines.

So sorry, Mark. Get well quickly and recover. Hasn't been easy for us locals who were born here. '86 grad also. Life is crazy. Wish you speedy recovery.

Unless this was a fully automatic rifle (ie a machine gun) it was NOT an Assault rifle. Please do your job and research terms properly before using them.

The Merriam-Webster definition of "assault rifle" includes semi-automatic weapons. This is the definition that the police press release is using. Presumably, the Mountain View Police have some familiarity with different types of rifles. Web Link

An "assault rifle" is just a style of gun with no agreed upon definition of what exactly constitutes an assault file. The FBI does not bother to distinguish crime stats between rifles and assault rifles as they know that is it just a stylistic difference.
BTW, rifles, assault or otherwise, are used in only a small fraction of crimes involving guns.
