Both the reporter and interviewee raised their arms at the start. I’m reminded of the Kennedy footage where the first bullet went through his lungs causing him to raise his arms. But it is more likely they were just flinching from the shots.

Dopey boyfriend immediately tweets that he was shacking up with her. Guess everything was a secret, now the family and the world knows. What a dunce.

The shooters eyes look dead and soulless. He could have easily said: "Sarah Connor?" Looking at the screen shot it appears he might have a lite colored handle bar mustache.

Having been shot at as a bouncer, I can tell my first reaction is to flinch and drop. I’m not military nor do I have any military-style training, but I know my first instinct would be to find cover. Problem is that these incidents are directed and deliberate. This isn’t a jihadi opening fire on a crowd where you can get lost in the shuffle. This is an individual with a very specific focus and very few potential victims. This is controlled and quick. None of these people had a chance.

On the video you can see that the first shot seems to impact on her back. Or it’s the muzzle blast.

The person being interviewed was also shot. Maybe she was the original target.

If it was an ex-boyfriend, I am sure the victim’s family and friends will recognize the person in the picture and give a name quickly.
