I thought there might have been a shotgun involved, but those looked like some pretty big holes. That many closely spaced holes from a handgun on a moving target like that also seems pretty good.

The officers involved say they could not hear their radios very well because of the helicopter. :headscratch I guess I believe that.

Looking at the size of the groups and the raggedness of some of those holes, I'd guess typical 9-12 pellet 00 buck loads with multiple pellets in each hole. The other holes more forward on the vehicle are all much smaller. Probably, the shotgunner was a bit farther away from the car than the others, which also caused his hits to be well off the mark due to the difficulty of leading a fast moving target from even a few yards away.
