There’s a simple thing to remember: If you go into a group of law enforcement officers and pull a gun, bad things are going to happen to you. Perhaps he believed that his moral superiority would protect him. Perhaps it was suicide by cop. Regardless, he FOed and Found Out the hard way.
According to a firearms expert I know, the gun he was carrying appears to be a custom works SIG P320. Those cost about $2400. The magazine shown has no signs of previous usage. It looks like he just bought that gun.
Yes, best to await more information. I think it was Scott Adams who said to wait 48hrs before opining.
