What won't be released yet are reports on the mystery of who fired two shots at Finicum just after he crashed his Dodge pickup. Neither bullet hit him and no state officer or FBI agent on the scene admitted to being the shooter.
Deschutes County Sheriff Shane Nelson said at a news conference Tuesday that his team concluded that an FBI agent fired the two shots and later denied it. The U.S. Justice Department is now investigating that agent and four other FBI agents at the scene who may have helped conceal the shots.
Officer 1 kept his position as Finicum rounded a corner and bore down on the roadblock at 70 mph.
"It got to a point where I believe without a doubt it could not stop," Officer 1 said. "It was going to run into our roadblock, which would have resulted in the death or serious injury of multiple officers."
He said as the truck came at them he believed he had "no other option" but to fire several rounds from his AR-15, aiming for the driver area and the motor. Investigators later determined three rounds struck the truck – in the hood, the grille and the driver's side mirror – but hit no one inside.

An FBI agent is suspected of lying about firing twice at Robert "LaVoy" Finicum and may have gotten help from four other FBI agents in covering up afterward, authorities revealed Tuesday.
The bullets didn't hit Finicum and didn't contribute to his death, but now all five unnamed agents, part of an elite national unit, are under criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department. Inspector General Michael Horowitz is leading the independent inquiry.
The remarkable disclosure came as a team of local investigators released findings that two state troopers shot Finicum three times in the back during the chaotic scene at a police roadblock Jan. 26. One bullet pierced his heart, an autopsy showed.
Investigators gave no details to explain why the one FBI agent, a member of the Hostage Rescue Team, wouldn't report the two shots. They also didn't indicate what his four colleagues did to warrant investigation other than saying it was related to conduct after the shooting.
Cox's video showed that one shot hit the truck's left rear passenger window as Finicum stepped out. At the time, Finicum appeared to have his hands at least at shoulder height.
Investigators later established that the bullet entered the truck through the roof before shattering the window and concluded it was fired by an FBI agent. Another bullet from the same FBI agent apparently went wild and missed the truck altogether, the investigation showed.
"All six shots fired by the Oregon State Police, the three into the truck and the three that struck Mr. Finicum, are justified," said Malheur County District Attorney Dan Norris. The shots were "in fact, necessary," he said.
Although Norris cleared the troopers of wrongdoing, the entire operation remains under a cloud with the disclosure of possible misconduct by the FBI agents. Law enforcement officials tried to blunt the impact, noting that investigating officers discovered and reported the alleged cover-up

NECESSARY? It is beyond me how these people can sleep at night. First they set up an ambush, then murder a man struggling to maintain his balance in the snow and call it justified when they could have arrested any one of them at any time without resorting to violence.

Dude, you're missing the point - he repeatedly thumbed his nose at LE and the penalty for that is summary execution. /s
