Inside the can, they found a chrome Magnum.357 revolver which was loaded with 4 live rounds of .38 ammunition, and a black Luger brand 9mm pistol which was loaded with 3 live rounds of ammunition.

Scenes of crime personnel dusted both weapons for fingerprints, and they found 2 on the .357. Both weapons will be sent for ballistics testing.
