Do be careful about trusting some of these initial witness reports. I know Memeology 101 is putting out news footage of a witness statement saying he heard 3, then 5, then 10 gunshots.
A lot of people on 9/11 claimed that the first attack on the WTC tower were from "missiles" being fired into it. The initial report at the pentagon that the news was circulating was of a helicopter crash.
Or hell, I could just tell you about "Hands up, don't shoot"
Take a bit of a grain of salt with the witnesses. They have a nasty habit of back-rationalizing what they think they heard or saw to create a coherent narrative that they can better understand, rather than keeping to the specifics of what actually happened.
A gunfight related to the RV would seem highly unlikely. I'm also not totally convinced that the warning was designed to lure people to the RV. I'm not totally convinced of this countdown announcement either since we can hear the evacuation broadcast, but not the countdown.
We don't know that the audio is genuine. Anyone can add a sound track. Considering the time and place, I highly doubt it was meant for mass casualties.
Spez: It would be a convenient way to get rid of your wife if you were already going to set off a big ass bomb for other reasons. Two birds with one stone.
Also, the cops say they were responding to a shots fired call, so regardless of how many shots were actually fired, someone thought they heard gunshots and called the police.

Honestly, a lone wolf attack for petty reasons just isn't out of the realm of possibility here.
At least one witness claims to have heard shots fired. It could be real, or it could be the attacker attempting to inform the police, and the witness was confused. We'll probably get better info in the coming days.
I guarantee you that the FBI are going to find out where that RV came from.

Your skepticism is valid. It could be a fake audio track.Actually, I take back what I said earlier. The cops said that they were attempting to evacuate the area because they had heard a loudspeaker from the RV attempting to tell people to evacuate the area due to what the Chief said was a "potential bomb". The audio track may be genuine, as it matches up with the Police Department's statement.
