The initial lets invent something reports painted the gunfight picture.

The later reports all seem to say it was a murder and suicide by police
after the murderer drew on the two cops who were tipped off by the
construction workers. Bystander injuries all seem to be related to
police overreacting. One officer fired nine times and the other seven times.

"The two cops approached Johnson, who drew his gun, turned and pointed
it directly at the officers from about eight feet away, police said.
Police opened fire and shot him, Police Department spokesman Paul Browne
told reporters.

One officer fired nine times and the other seven times, Browne said.
Investigators believe Johnson was shot seven times; his body had 10
bullets wounds, three of which were believed to be exit wounds, Browne
said."
