This gets stranger and stranger. Listen.
There are two or three shots (as the story says). Who knows what they were aimed at. Some time goes by (20-30 seconds?) then the “automatic” fire starts. Already the crowd was fleeing, but I wouldn’t say in abject panic. The guy on the microphone says “get down” right about then. The crowd exits VERY fast, but again, not panic with people being trampled.
There are long, intermittent gaps where he is not firing.
TO ME-—and you can debate this-—it sounds like he isn’t firing more than a few hundred rounds total, contrary to the several thousand rounds needed to kill/wound that many people. By the five minute mark-—unless the microphones aren’t picking it up, he has more or less stopped shooting.
So he killed or wounded 560 people in less than 8 minutes of actual firing? Maybe only 5? Help me out here.
We simply don't know how many people were shot. The killed/wounded numbers clearly include people who were crushed, trampled, etc.
We really don't know how many shots were fired either. I suspect it is less than "thousands". I don't see why he needed to shoot thousands of rounds to hit that many people. In a crowd that size, it's hard to miss.
