Just to be sure, is the cop that can shoot Ethan the same one who sees him and Madison escaping from the apartment into the alleyway? Because according to three different sources I've checked (Gamepressure.com, IGN and StrategyWiki), he shoots only if Ethan failed the third trial (i.e. didn't cut off his finger). This is consistent with your recent findings, and also reveals that the timing of the escape has nothing to do with whether or not Ethan gets shot.

Conceptually, I think this was done so Ethan would have to lean on Madison even if he hadn't suffered any injuries during the latest trial. It also means that the wording of those pieces of trivia could be simplified quite a bit (though I know it would be a shame to do that after putting as much time and effort as you did into researching the different scenarios).
