closeCHAPEL HILL -- It appears that investigators have recovered the weapons they think Demario Atwater and Laurence Lovette used to kill Eve Carson.
Bills of indictment released today say the suspects used a sawed-off Harrington and Richardson 12-gauge shotgun and an Excam GT-27 .25 caliber semi-automatic pistol. The documents list the serial numbers for both weapons.
Neither the Orange-Chatham District Attorney's Office nor the Chapel Hill Police Department would confirm that investigators have located the weapons.

Both men were indicted March 31 on first-degree murder charges in the March 5 slaying of the UNC-Chapel Hill student leader. She was shot five times, according to an autopsy report released last week.
