I wouldn't trust the media, or the police, or even the coroner on such a high-profile case with so many politicized implications. We'll never know what happened, because we have no direct access to the scene, or the reports, or the evidence. Trying to come up with a narrative without having a sure handle on all the facts is what causes all the problems. It's better to say that a) we don't know how it went down, and b) better decisions could have obviously been made by both the police and the suspected criminals. Anything else is just pointless argument.
