Bandoliers are for belt fed. I suspect it was web gear with magazine pouches (like found on local swat teams and armed federal agents these days).
Other reports said a shotgun was used. If, as the witness says, he (or she) saw "bullets" in the bandoliers (rather than magazines in pouches), then my guess is it was a shotgun, and the "bullets" in the bandoliers were actually shells.
