From viewing the video it appears to me that the shooter had a short barreled handgun concealing a paper bag. Later in the video he is seen shooting a revolver with at least a 4" barrel while standing in the door of a subway car.

Tactics to learn from this?
The officer (man in uniform) who appeared to be the first victim of the shooting was either unarmed or failed to use his weapon against the armed shooter and seems to have been killed after being shot multiple times.

The civilian (in the white shirt) who left the subway car to try to neutralize the shooter was also unarmed and appears to have been shot multiple times. Even though wounded several times he continued to try to fight the shooter for many seconds.

Lesson #1 have a gun for a gunfight.
Lesson #2 shoot until the threat is neutralized, don't plan on one shot stopping the threat.
