He claims the teens had a shotgun in the car and it was pointed at him.
The car with the teens did drive some distance away from the scene, ostensibly to get away from the gun-wielding cracker, but any weapon could possibly have been discarded then.

Yes, but I believe that recollection materialized after he made his first statement.

Unless one of them has weapons offenses or violent offenses on his record or there are witnesses to testify that at least one of them owned such a weapon, this will be pretty impeachable.
According to witnesses, and there were a number of them, the vehicle moved a short distance out of the parking lot, then reversed back into it when they realized their friend was hit. It was under observation by witnesses the entire time until police came. A search of the area found no weapon.
