The only pistols like that I know about with integrated suppressors are all bolt action. This gun has a visible slide and a hammer like a semi-auto.

Edit: apparently there's a boutique pistol called the Maxim9 that's semi-auto with an integrated surpressor, but I doubt it's the same gun.

I read somewhere that the shell casings found were 9mm, and the Maxim9 seems to be the only pistol with an integrated surpressor that's chambered for 9mm. Most super silent pistols I know about are .22 or .32 acp

Some people are saying it's a welrod, a particularly well known silent pistol used by spies and assassins. Which is even more ludicrous because what did the shooter raid a museum with antique WW2 British commando equipment or something

Not a welrod, but a B&T Station 6 which is a modern version of the Welrod, however, the station 6 requires twising on the slide to cycle, which he didn't do. It's probably a normal semi-auto pistol with a homemade suppressor and problems cycling.
