Looks like Troy was reaching for something on the agent. Maybe they knew each other?

So the agent is attacked by another man who ALSO happens to be carrying a gun. In highly gun controlled D.C.? That fact is added in there with no further details? Color me sceptical. Sounds like a cover story to justify the shooting. I don’t put anything past them at this point.

That all seems like a highly unusual set of circumstances for it to be totally random. Then again, the world has a funny way of having dumbass douchebags find each other.

Was Ray Epps anywhere in the area at the time?

Why does the news story call the agent an "official" if he was off-duty?

The pusher must have had a dog in his jacket?

I think that was the agent reaching for Bullock, cause it says Bullock pushed the agent and they both went over the rail

Not suspicious at all

I do not believe the resolution on those cameras is that low
Facial recognition is too valuable in a DC subway station

Either they purposely mute the image resolution to cover up what really happened or they mute it to keep the tech secret
Also "off-duty"....... yeah ok

Sounds like Gang-on-Gang crime.

Yes. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a ruthless gang... and these are their Colors:

I'm sure DC's version of the T has a budget and is run just as poorly. Like I said in the Worcester shoot thread, most security cameras suck ass

Seems like a reasonable shoot to me. A pushes B off of a 8 foot wall. B shoots A.

 

[Fixxah]

He was probably the next trigger man and had second thoughts.
