[00:00:00] Speaker 1: One of the things that's shocking about the number of shots is that the last five shots or so are actually from a distance where he appears already lying on the ground, not moving. Do you remember that? Again, this is happening in five to ten seconds.

[00:00:14] Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, Alex being shot is the most memorable part of it. The agents are not a part of that, I think, because I watched him die. I mean, I watched him die. I remember him arching his back and his head rolling back, and he looked—it was so fast-moving, but not for me. Like, when they left, when they fleed, which now I see, after the shooting, they decided to just scatter and save themselves. Watching him die, and then after—you know, I've watched people die before in more of a calculated and planned way, like, you know, hospice in various ways. You know what that looks like, and I knew he was gone because I watched it. And then they come over to try to perform some type of medical aid by ripping his clothes open with scissors and then maneuvering his body around like a ragdoll, only to discover that it could be because they wanted to count the bullet wounds to see how many they got, like he's a deer. I watched that, and that is what it felt like they were doing, and that is part of why I was like, what are you guys doing? Why would you jostle his body around like that? You're not even doing anything to help him. But I knew he was gone.

[00:01:41] Speaker 1: You knew he was gone, then.

[00:01:43] Speaker 2: I knew he was gone.
