The only question I have is the police description of a triangulated attack on them in the area as it was happening. How could one person get to 3 different buildings at high level, not get seen doing so, and get all them shots off to make it seem like a triangulated attack?

Echoes. Thats also why he chose the place he did. Besides being a reinforce4d concrete parking garage with cement columns and a covered walkway to duck and hide behind, the geometry, his shoot and scoot tactics made the sound of his shots echo and confuse their source as well as the number of combatants.
Well trained soldiers with combat experience utilize force multiplying techniques.
Oddly enough I'm pretty familiar with that exact shotgun. Which is why I noticed that when he started shooting faster, the muzzle was all over the place. Which is something not seen in the video of the shooter. The visible impacts of the rounds fired by the shooter in the column and wall behind and near the officer are all fairly level with each other
The official story is always bogus.
Don't you remember preschool? "IN 1492, Columbus Sailed The Ocean Blue"

Most likely a .30 caliber armor penetrating round. Passed through and through body armor, showering sparks and concrete dust on the other side.
Thats a hardened steel core penetrator.

Well I have seen another video that does clearly identify sniper rounds by audio, at the same time as the SKS gun which seemed to have explosive rounds, at the time of the policeman seen getting killed by the shooter on the ground, even with all the reverberation going on because of the buildings, which can fool you into thinking multiple shooters. But there were also a load of police around the corner, so it's more than likely they were shooting too, but did they have a target?
There is also the problem of media reports saying that there were suspects under arrest, and that they weren't talking...did media make that up?
See what you think anyway.

That is a relatively rare form of SKS, if anyone was going to mistake that for anything else at all it would be another form of AK. 95% of SKSs out there look like the following
Russian SKS
Yugoslavian 59/66
So I'm going to have to disagree with you. It's incredibly rare to find an SKS with a folding stock (aftermarket) and AK mag conversion (possibly custom, possibly aftermarket, possibly a Norinco) and hardly the first thing anyone with even a basic knowledge of long guns would think of.
Civilian descriptions would describe this but why would trained cops after filtering the info before making a statement?

Go here to see the actual Saiga AK-74 he used.
