I saw in the news this morning about a gun battle between Jersey City police and two armed robbery suspects. The mayor mentioned that one of the suspects had "a shotgun, not a regular shotgun, some type of a automatic shotgun." I'm assuming that the shotgun was a run-of-the-mill semiauto. However, it was described as not being "regular" so could it have possibly been some type of fully-auto shotgun?
The police chief stated, "This individual came fully ready to go to war with us. This is not a normal shotgun. This is not a street weapon. This is one that's meant to hunt nothing other than men."
I'm assuming that the shotgun was a run-of-the-mill semiauto, that instead of having a camo paint job, was all black and maybe had some scary looking accessories. However, it was described as not being "regular" or "normal" so could it have possibly been some type of fully-auto shotgun?

You need to watch the videos with the actual statements, rather than just the written story.
Edit: I watched further into the video where the police chief stated that the weapon was a "pump shotgun"!!! The reason it was such an abnormal weapon: It had a retractable stock and a strap on it to hold extra shells!!! The chief admitted it wasn't an illegal weapon. Cudos to the reporters for calling them out on their misrepresentations.
