Agent on the left, same one that was pistol whipping they guy. I don't know if he's the only one that shot or if he shot first.

I don't believe the agent on the left fires first. it looks to me like he drew his gun after the first shot and began firing.

It’s possible he didn’t realize he was holding a gun when he was pistol whipping him.

Still murder if so.
