My bet is that this will be determined to be a righteous shooting.

Why?

Four empty casings inside of the vehicle, not from police guns.

A fourth perpetrator passenger in the car fled on foot, likely with the gun that fired the four.

These 4 guys were fleeing, and they had a reason too do so. There was a felony in progress.

As to what the reason was, we will eventually find out.The fourth man is the key. And I hope he is identified and arrested soon.

My guess is that there was a wholesale drug deal going down, to supply multiple players at the 250 strong wedding reception.

This team was undercover, new what they were looking for, and found it, but there was an argument among the perps, likely over money or extending credit for drugs for the wedding. There was a gun. There was deadly force used in flight

How much more righteous could it be??

Any cop slow on the trigger in a situation like this ends up at the morgue.

I am glad we have officers willing to go to the line with thugs like these. And they took them down , which is what we pay them for.

God Bless Them!

Pretty sound analysis on your part.
My opinion is that it will be something less than perfect on the part of the police AND some felonious involvement by the civilians.
I do not have a problem with the number of shots. Just poor placement and technique.
From experience I know that when the first moment of the action element of an arrest, like the combat that it is, EVERYTHING goes to hell.

The facts will come out, but some will always be buried.
