I'm not sure what happened.  It could be exactly as James Howell described in California,  He said Omar was leader of a 4-man team and got taken out by the others.  Or it could be completely scripted and fake.  There's really no evidence except the obviously faked video.  But the official story seems very unlikely.  There was a cop at the door, so we should either have a dead jihadist or a dead cop.  But no cops died, not even the one at the scene.  It's strange that the bar was full and the lights and music were still going at 2 AM.  It's strange that with only 1 shooter, nobody fought back.  Nobody rushed him when he changed magazines, or when he called 911 or when he updated his Facebook page or when he searched the web for news of the attack. 

 

It's strange that SWAT waited 3 hours while the shooter was in there killing and maiming people.  They said they didn't go in because of reports the shooter had explosives.  Gee, if that's all it takes to make SWAT stand down, I'm sure all criminals will start making that claim.  When SWAT did finally go in, they may have killed 30 people.  The reports of 20 dead suddenly jumped to 50 dead with no increment. 

 

So no, I don't know what happened and may never know.  But I'm suspicious of the immediate gun grab.  UK and Australia both gave up their guns after mass shootings.
