Well what leads me to believe it's a cop is the bright yellow vest he has on. All the officers that were on duty at that event were wearing that same bright yellow vest as well. As far as why he decided to switch on his flashlight while being shot at is anyone's guess, but my first thought would be it's just instinct from his training kicking in.
I think it is wise to consider the very real possibility that he could have put on that vest so that he would blend in with the officers and wouldn't look out of place when he drew a weapon. With all that confusion, noise, panic and chaos it would be plenty adequate a disguise to afford him opportunity to shoot and bail without being noticed.
I'd like to see more evidence that he was actually firing his weapon because even though it looks like he was, there is a measure of doubt there due to the angle and poor lighting, blurriness, etc. This is a situation where it is of utmost importance that false accusations and wild conjecture take a back seat to critical thinking and common sense.
I do not, however, require more evidence to believe that there is something very, very wrong about this entire thing...more accurately, several somethings...and things seem to be pointing in a rather worrisome direction that I sincerely hope does not progress further.

OK Videos are good proof BUT , THIS thread is about the FBI's statement or non statement towards the standing down of the investigation in to multiple shooters.
Question #1
Was this claim made up? if not ....
Question #2 where is the statement source recorded or who was it spoken to? Names,Dates, ect.
Question #3 If true- Why & Who in DC?? Can a FOIA request be put in to see this order??
OK thanks.

It's hard to tell. But to me it honestly just looks like a cop with his pistol drawn turning on his torch as incoming rounds impact near by.

Nah,not gunfire, or an auto pistol imo.
Watch the slow motion vid. you can see him raise the light to the gun, it's not a extended clip auto pistol.
You can see the clean blue spectrum of his torch, an auto pistol would not create that blue color. It would be more orange.
-Flashlight nerd here, bet it's a 18650 led tac light.
So they turned on the lights? Easier targets?
Does anybody find it odd that as soon as shots are fired jason aldean runs off the stage and then they turn the overhead spotlights on. and shortly after the carnage, they turn the lights back off.

I pointed this out in a previous thread. Not one video has shown any muzzle flashes coming from where the suspect is supposed to have been shooting. I've heard of flash suppressors, but those are for snipers, and nobody so far has claimed he used one, or even had one in his room.
