At 4:20 one of them says, "We had a guy shooting" even though clearly no one is shooting at the time. What's up with that?

It's not clear that no one is shooting, though. It's only clear that the available and very limited perspective did not capture such activity.

Right after this when someone says "Uh, negative" and the other guys ignore him, is that not about the alleged shooting?

There are seemingly two conversations happening at once, I took the "negative" as referring to location not shooting. Read it as Guy 1 saying "we had a guy shoot, now he's behind the building" and Guy 2 saying "negative, he is not behind the building he was in front of the bradley and I haven't seen him since" rather than Guy 1 saying "We had a guy shoot" and Guy 2 saying "Negative" and you get a completely different picture.

02:15 No hold on. Lets come around. Behind buildings right now from our point of view. ... Okay, we're gonna come around.

02:19 Hotel Two-Six; have eyes on individual with RPG. Getting ready to fire. We won't...

02:23 Yeah, we had a guy shoot---and now he's behind the building.

02:26 God damn it.

02:28 Uh, negative, he was, uh, right in front of the Brad Uh, 'bout, there, one o'clock.

02:34 Haven't seen anything since then.
