Because all of the reportage I’ve had a chance to look at said the dead guy fired a gun at an undercover officer, with the bullet lodging in the LEO’s car. Was that reporting incorrect?

For what it's worth, the most recent statement from the IPCC indicates that it was indeed incorrect. It now appears that only police weapons were fired. A weapon was recovered from the car, but it hadn't been fired - and there are even some reports that it was hidden in a sock. Not that any of this makes any difference to the rights and wrongs....
