Meh, I don't know about staged, but one thing that bothers me with the shooting in that video is - where is the passthrough? That bullet didn't stop in her neck; it would have gone through and hit either the wood trim or left a hole in the wall. I know the video isn't the highest quality, but I kept looking for any evidence of a bullet impact, which likely would have been on the other side of the door in the wall, and saw none.
I have reasonable doubt for both stories.
I would assume that, in an environment where they don't expect to fight against men with bulletproof vests, and where they have to avoid collateral damage, they would use ammunition similar to that used in passenger planes. But the "officer" running around with the finger on the trigger was most likely an actor using blanks.
