This was a bank robbery with a police chase that ended up with the perp taking refuge in the PP clinic and holding people hostage.
The cop was shot out behind the bank.
Since the police insist on hiding the evidence , we are left to assume that the other two innocents shot were shot by police in the excitement of the chase.
The PP clinic was involved only because it was somewhere to try and hide. The police are hiding the evidence because they don’t want it out that THEY shot some innocents in front of, or inside the PP clinic.
The politicians got involved and turned a simple mess into a huge mess.
You may be absolutely right.
But it also seems odd that Dear would all of a sudden decide to come out of the woods and rob a bank.
Not a bank robbery.
