If the horn blew before the shot, no foul. If the shot was released prior to the horn, or if the foul occured before the horn, shoot the shots.
Shoot the shots with the lane clear and let the chips fall.

The foul makes the ball dead, not the whistle (Basketball Rules Fundamentals #16). Continuous motion also applies here. If A2 starts the act of shooting before the horn, A2 is allowed to "complete customary arm movement, and if pivoting or stepping when fouled, may complete the usual foot or body movement in any activity while holding the ball. These privileges are granted only when the usual throwing motion has started before the foul occurs and before the ball is in flight." (4-11 Art. 2)
To sum up, foul occurs before the horn; report foul. If player was in the act of shooting before the foul is committed, A2 shoots 2 free throws. If not, period over.

Are you saying that if he 1.Starts his shooting motion, 2.Gets fouled, 3.The horn goes off, 4.Then he releases......he gets to shoot free throws even if not in the bonus?
