So the goon was being run over, but had time to draw his pistol and do this and more in the side window?

Looking at the videos, she acted like most anyone would -- frightened at the sight of unidentified and armed men hopping out of an unmarked pickup truck with guns pointed at her, she attempted to FLEE.
It's called "Fight or Flight." The ICE agent surely felt the same thing, except he had a gun he used to fight.

"I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch," said Trump on Truth Social, his social media platform.
"The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense."
"Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital," Trump continued.

PS: The hole location shows his position from the first shot: off to the left, front of the driver. If she was hit by three shots, as the sound track implies, the ICE agent must have hit her with two shots through her open driver's side window. The shooter seemed nonplussed about it as he adjusted his facemask in one video. Thank you for standing up to these bastards -- bravely and for decades, Orangecrush.
