[quote=olivant]Yes, that's what I posted above. Light travels immensely faster than a bullet. He saw the muzzle flash.
Yes. And if, as is likely, the assassins were using submachineguns (fully automatic weapons that fire pistol rounds, usually either 9mm or .45ACP), the bullets are just slow enough that a guy with great reflexes could duck when he saw the muzzle flash and barely get out of the way.
Not at that close a distance. Even if it was a small caliber round with no surpresser you are on the lite side of the glass room it is hard to see out. If you see the flash you would be dead already.

Most .45 spray or jerk low to high when fired in full burst mode. We always noticed how they show a dozen shots so close to each other in that mirror, without the glass just shattering into a million pieces. Must be super thick backing-
