    Holy guac this is insane and insanely tragic …

    The cop crawling to the front of that white car is definitely dead, looks like he had already been shot when the video started.

    His female colleague then appears to shoot a civilian in the dark top who pops up behind the barricade/wall (but in that situation I don’t know what I would do, the other cop next to me just got shot dead).

    And then the shooter in camouflage gear runs up, it looks like she spots him and actually is able to shoot at him while reportedly getting shot at & surviving herself. And then the shooter hides behind the white barricade, appears to reload or fiddle with his weapon, but maybe grasp at his wound? And just … keels over? At first it looked like he was trying to get on the ground to me, but the more I’m looking at it, the more it looks like he just died then and there.

      Look at the glass behind the shooter at the end, he’s being shot.

      It seems to me that the civilian was shot by the shooter off screen trying to shoot at the police officers. You can see the windows behind getting shot.

      Yeah from this angle it definitely does look like the female officer shot the dark shirt bystander. But it is possible it was the perp. Also I guess possible it was an off screen sniper/cop that shot him. If it was actually the lady cop, it’s incredibly tragic because she would have realized in the moment that guy is not the perpetrator and she’ll have to deal with that along with the rest of the trauma like seeing her fellow cop shot down right in front of her and being shot herself (my assumption, haven’t read reports yet).
