I watched the video of the scene and posted it a while back, in the beginning the hall was full of people and looks like they all left because when Ashli went through the door the officer had already had his gun drawn and pointed, there was another guy walking around the hall like no big deal, everyone else was gone. When she goes through the door he shot her. She wasn’t armed and after she was shot you can see armed men coming up the stairs that looked like a swat team. It all looked staged, the videographer I believe was also an instigator and a plant posing as a trump supporter, there was a guard who also was at the door one moment and then just leaves. All looked staged.
How does qualified immunity work?
It's complicated & evolving.
This interesting video covers a SCOTUS decision
regarding a prisoner forced to sleep naked on the
floor in a cold cell with raw sewage backing up into
it. The ruling reversed a prior SCOTUS trend of ever
increasing immunity for cops.

11th Circuit: Officer Granted Qualified Immunity After Shooting Innocent Homeowner at Wrong Address
Excerpted....
In June of 2016 in Henry County, Georgia. Police sergeant Patrick Snook arrived at the wrong house and shot and killed the innocent homeowner, William David Powell, standing in his driveway. Sharon Powell, his wife, fled a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging excessive force against the officer. The Northern District of GA ultimately granted Summary Judgment in favor of the officer, granting him qualified immunity from standing trial in the civil case. She appealed to the 11th Circuit, which issued a published opinion on February 8.

That's why I'm overall not optimistic about police reform. Until qualified immunity is struck none of us are safe.
Qualified immunity is not in the Constitution.
It was invented by SCOTUS in 1967.

Here's a fun case where a cop injured by another
cop was denied the right to sue the other cop.

Ky Supreme Court case shows qualified immunity can even keep police from getting justice | Opinion
OpEd: Defenders of qualified immunity often argue it’s needed to protect law enforcement officers. But what about when a police officer is the victim?
