I just did a quick and dirty experiment on how fast I could open a handle crank window, count to three as per the shot times, and close the window again. Opening the window to around 60º/70º took me 11:70 seconds. My fastest time had the window open to about 40º/45º with a time of 9:93 seconds.
I did a second experiment on how long it would take me to just open my window. To reach ~60º, it took me 4 seconds flat. To reach ~45º, around 2:25-2:97 seconds. To just close the windows, from ~60º, 3:98 seconds. From ~45º, 2:25 seconds.
From Niall's post, I looked for two things.
First, in this screenshot at 4:53, you can clearly see Crooks' head on the roof and the window in question is closed. This is a mere 2 seconds before the first shot was taken at 4:55 (first shot is actually taken at the very end of 4:54).
Then, in this screenshot at 4:59, 4 seconds after the first shot, the same window is clearly (already?) closed. This is right around the middle of the 5 shot volley.
Theoretically, it's possible that this window could be opened, three shots taken, and then closed without the camera noticing but, imo, it would be absolutely flawless execution with the wildest timings where the camera just happened to be looking away. Also, my experiment times are based on a handle crank. I don't know what the times would be for a 'key' crank.
Second, that woman's report of the Harley with the two guys, and the yellow 'don't tread on me' flag... @3:09, there is no Harley in the parking lot.
But four seconds later at 3:13, there is a Harley there now (btw, that's a quite Harley!). Could be a cop's bike.
At 4:10, you can see a guy standing there. Now, I can't say for sure it's him because I can't see if 'don't tread on me' is written on the flag. But the fact that it's tied around his neck, is predominantly yellow (like the Gadsden flag) as the woman described and that he's the only guy around that fits that description, he's a great candidate.
Funny thing is, the bike is on the other side of the building from him and he did not pass in front of the camera. Where was this woman standing that she could equate this guy with the Harley? Did he walk through the building? And she talks about a second guy on that bike. I don't know who he is but she also mentions a door, that was closed, being open. Which door? 'Cause, by the sounds of it, at least one of these guys entered the building. Certainly 'neither' of them crossed in front of the camera. And yet flag guy just looks like some dude with a flag tied around his neck. Did her memories go through a blender? Did flag guy walk through a dimensional door?
As a mention, while replaying this video many times, I noticed the first three shots had a different quality to them. It's sounds dumb but it's not the initial 'crack' I was listening to, it's the tail that's different. I was listening through the Sennheiser HD558. The tail of the first two shots had a quality of 'shattering glass', or something 'crystalline' about them. The third was a bit different with a more 'high speed zip'. The next five had a 'dull' sound to the tail. It almost made me think the first shots were being fired from the tree above the guy.
