HOWEVER, there is no question as to whether the van was moving towards the scene of the shooting. At some point or another it had to be. Thats where it got shot up.
I think it was you that missed Dunedans point. Summary: Big guns make big noise. It doesn't matter which direction the van was traveling at the time of the shooting, or if it was even in motion at the time. What does matter is the van's proximity to the scene of the shooting. As the van arrived on scene roughly 2 minutes after the shooting, one can surmise that it was pretty darn close and would have been aware of the gunfire.

The van's proximity to the scene of the shooting is easily explained by the fact that it's a residential neighborhood. I thought that that was clear from the video. And as you noted, the van got to the square (which it had no way of knowing was the target of the shooting until it got there) in a very short amount of time. Again, the idea that this van was driving towards the fight is bullshit unsupported by the video. So you have a van, in a residential neighborhood, which is driving away from the source of the gunfire noise, which comes up in a square full of dead or injured people, and then decides to stop and help out.
