This is one of those articles that seems absurd and disagreeable from the title, but it's actually sensible when you read why. It's worth a full read.

It is, but damn what a dark situation.

TL;DR the purpose of the reenactment is to show that the resource officer would have been able to tell the direction from which the shots were being fired and there’s a difference in sound quality between blanks and live rounds.
