And the word 'crossfire' implies that the protesters are shooting back 🙄

To my mind crossfire would also imply multiple shots. His weapon was pointed at the ground he raised it aimed and fired. I need to watch again, but I'm pretty sure he returned the weapon to pointing downward after the shot. There is nothing about that that is not deliberate.

Edit: very little of what I said was true. Whatchu it yourself and make your own judgement. Fash Gordon does look like he's itchy to fire though.
