@aric.bsky.socialICE claims that Guerrero "attempted the flee the scene", and in a statement delivered to some Congressional members, had tried to "weaponize" his vehicle. There's no video that supports or opposes this claim, and no body cam footage was filmed.

@aric.bsky.socialI've seen some people claim that this pawnshop CCTV footage shows the car trying to run over ICE agents. Actually, this was filmed after Joan Guerrero was already shot and likely incapacitated, with the car moving at a very slow speed as ICE agents tried to halt it in the road.
@aric.bsky.socialThere are no available videos showing the moment of the shooting -- only the audio of the yelling immediately before the five shots were fired, and CCTV from a pawnshop showing the car rolling down the road ~4-5 seconds after the gunshots.
@aric.bsky.socialFrom @devonlum.bsky.social, Allison McCann, and Tim Ouillette reporting out of Maine, and me and @leanneabraham.bsky.social regrettably not reporting out of Maine.
@aric.bsky.socialNew: Our visual analysis of the ICE shooting in Maine, from the available video and audio available. There is no footage showing the shooting itself, but we obtained audio near the scene from immediately before the vehicle rolled into an intersection.

@aric.bsky.socialr/Epstein started filling my feed at some point, and now I can't stop reading these schizoposts
@aric.bsky.socialAnyways, if you've read this far into this thread, you may as well read the actual story, which is far more compelling to read than me. I've just focused on the visuals, but there's way more.
