Why Did The Assassin Choose A Shotgun [View all]

I mean I would like to know what kind of shells he had in the shotgun? Did he have double ought buckshot? Punkin balls?

Did he have bird shot like Dick Cheney had when he shot his lawyer friend in the face?

I doubt that we will ever find out the answer to my question, or maybe I missed it?
