A neighbor who declined to give his name said he was walking his dog about 7 p.m. when he saw two SUVs pull up parallel to one another — one on 3rd Way and one in an alley and then heard shots, saw gun smoke from the right side and then several shots almost instantly from the left side. He said he took cover behind a parked car.

Hadn't seen that update until now. Unless this was both law enforcement (which is possible, there were multiple agencies there, and people arriving at different times, and at least four officers fired their weapons), it does make it sound like Reinohl either opened or returned fire.

The Olympian article's updated again to say that LE tried to take Reinohl alive at first but then he opened fire. Makes sense TBH, his online history (and of course his actions in meatspace) show that he's obviously an ideological zealot and not all there in the head.

“The suspect came out to the car,” Troyer said. “They attempted to put him into custody and shots were fired.”

Though if he was fantasizing about going out in a blaze of glory or worse still, somehow wining like he's the star of a Communist propaganda movie, his 40:0 shots:kills ratio shows that he's only capable of winning when ambushing random unarmed people and no good in an actual fight...
