I believe those were from the fighting happening elsewhere since there was an active rebellion going on with soldiers being lynched etc. What the wapo reporter is speaking against is this idea in the western mind of peaceful protesters on tiananmen square being mowed down by gunfire.

Ok yeah no nobody who has done as minimal investigation as "looking at the square in the background of the tankman video" and cares about the incident beyond its utility as hostile evidence believes that, I assumed we were talking about the entire incident.
