Sullivan has been reported as talking them away from the doors.
They are pretty much directly behind and a bit to one side of the doors and Ashley when she is shot and drops back into the crowd, away from the window in the door she was attempting to crawl through.
They were about 10 -15 feet from Ashly, as I recall, when she was shot.
There are multiple videos of the scene out there.
We may easily be looking at different videos.
Just before the shooting, the officers up front (who never DID look like they were trying to prevent a break-in) .... LEAVE.
When they were up front, one continually looked into the other room as if (OK, I'll confess this is MY interpretation of what I saw with my lying eyes) ... to check that everything was in place and before Ashli climbed into the window ... THEY LEFT
There were no cops around at the shooting.
