Jeffers aims the Mossberg in the foreground. Note that he is holding it left handed. Although Taye Diggs is right handed, the weapons adviser for the film (a Navy SEAL) said that if you're using a building on your right as cover you would shoot left handed, which minimizes your body exposure and makes you less of a target.

Jeffers checks a room where he thought Parker went into after they got out of their SUV a second time. Note that he is still holding the gun left handed. While it wasn't necessary he continued to because he had gotten comfortable handling the shotgun this way.
