The two agents did not file "false" reports; no report related to the shootings was filed in the first place. Ramos and Compean have been consistent in their versions of the events involved. Two other agents were fired because they repeatedly changed their version of events to investigators ( in other words, they lied).
Sutton needed the FOS to successfully prosecute R & C. The supervisor came out of this mess with a promotion.
The total number of shots was less than 15, BTW.
"Probably"? I'm sorry, I don't understand why the two agents didn't step right up and make full reports. This "well, they figured everyone knew already" thing is truly bizarre--you are involved in a shooting and in this day and age of lawsuits you just shrug and decide "Well, I'm sure they'll ask if they have any questions."
Police officers can go through their careers not discharging their guns ever. These two fired on and struck a suspect, and figure they'll just say nothing unless asked?
That doesn't pass muster.

These two didn't feel the need to see if they should, you know, file a report after shooting at someone?

If someone could direct me to their versions, I'd appreciate it.

What was the total?
