What THE HECK was this guy shot with? (video not graphic)

A police officer supposedly shot last night in the Law Enforcement Center parking lot. But the video looks exactly like fireworks, and left a huge burned dent (not to mention huge holes) in the car.

Is there any way that visual and damage could have been from something other than fireworks?

Flare?

That seems like far too much damage for a flare.

Yeah, that’s a Roman candle.
ETA And after seeing the damage, that wasn’t a firework!

Might be a dragons breath 12 gauge round.

Whatever it was, it was a lot more than one of them.

Jewish space lasers?

That’s the first thing I thought.
