Watch the video starting with "AA672..." in this proton drive folder

You can clearly see that one of the thugs disarmed the victim and fired a shot into the pavement as he was leaving, and a second later the victim was brutally shot to kill by the other thugs.

I bet this was all on purpose - the shot to the pavement from the victim's gun was so they could claim the victim fired the first shot and killing him was in self defense.

Fucking atrocious murderers.

All else aside, the guy leaving with the gun didn't fire it. There was no recoil, no action cycling or shell ejection ,no vapor, and someone would have probably been hit from ricochet and fragments. A 9mm still makes a decent recoil and some vapor.

This just makes it worse as it means the first shot heard is from the other agent's gun so they had zero excuse.
