Look, it's all documented in mainstream media/press.
Yeah, that's bullshit and I think it was deliberate disinfo, on the part of media, to sex up the story - unless NYPD/City of NY flat out lied to the media, which is also possible.
Chief Kelly claims that they didn't know whose bullets hit the bystanders until authorities had an opportunity to investigate. I can see that as being a truth because witnesses interviewed claimed hearing/seeing 2 to 6 rounds fired and eyewitness testimony leaves alot to be desired. I can also see it being utter bullshit if the LEOs were well trained and had clear recollections when first interviewed.
Whichever the case, once hospital workers removed the fragmented bulllets from the bystanders, there would be no doubt as to whether they came from Johnson's 45 or an NYPD issued weapon. NYPD it is...
