There are versions that go frame-by-frame that show the slide back. It looks like that's what happened; it was either a gun failure (it was a Sig P320, which are notorious for that), or the agent was a moron who had his finger on the trigger.
But, yeah, the first shot is fired accidentally into the ground by an agent. What an absolute disaster of an event.
..but I will LAUGH MY ASS OFF if it turns out a Sig had a failure that resulted in this shoot! I bet Sig's PR department is sweating hard at the news their gun was in this mess.

Yeah, I saw some jokes about how wild it would be if Sig caused the next civil war.
Did they ever find out what actually happened with that gun in the Air Force base?
