We'll have to get rainmaker to tell is whether what is in red applies to both parts of the sentence or just the final part. It is a matter of sentence structure and I believe that the inclusion of the comma makes a difference.
My understanding of sentence structure would say that the red letters do NOT apply to the shooter - only those in marked lane spaces. Therefore, a fake by the shooter is an immediate violation whether anyone else violates or not.
