I used to work in the building where this happened. Now I work next door. They had everything but the National Guard downtown today. There was more police and fire equipment on scene than I've seen in quite a while.

QUOTE (Blainefab @ Mar 14 2012, 04:28 PM)  That officer needs bigger bullets QUOTE (00 SS @ Mar 14 2012, 06:09 PM) Shot 4 times and they still had to taser the guy? He must have been on something. I'm guessing the shots were taken at close range, why did the officer not shoot the guy in the head? I'd think if I were in that situation and had time to get off 4 shots, I'd put one or two in his chest and then aim higher.... |

In an area full of that many people, you just can't afford to risk a miss. You have a really good chance of it hitting someone as opposed to something. That's a chance you just can't take under that kind of stress. Or that's my guess. Also, they train to shoot center mass. If she fired a head shot, she may have had lots of explaining to do...or "oops, I missed" might have worked too. |
