“...16 officers that were in the parking lot, only three fired a total of 12 shots. —...”

I hear you. So...those three fired a total of 36 shots (12 for each of the three). How many shots did the other 13 officers (the ones who did not fire exactly 12 shots) take?

It depends upon what the meaning of “is” is. :^)

Good Lord. The Waco PD stated that their officers fired a total of 12 shots. Not 12 shots each. They also stated that no other LEOs fired.

It's fine to accuse them of lying if you're into conspiracies but their statements were pretty unambiguous.

Very good catch! {^) Open to literal grammatical interpretation!

Somewhat comparable to "Let's eat grandma" versus "Let's eat, grandma."
