Continuity mistake: Something weird happens as the sheriff rolls under the closing gate. She's holding a shotgun before she drops to the floor, rolls under with empty hands (seen from both sides), and as she stands up she's got it back.

She doesn't throw it through the gap - we'd be able to see it on the other side. (01:02:40)
