Actually, I agree with you. He may have gotten shook up and accidentally discharged his gun. I don't have any inside info on this or anything, but an off-duty officer shot the guy three times in front of his house, after discharging a round into the bushes. There's something about the "warning shot" statement that raises my BS detector. It could be bad reporting, or it could be that the cop doesn't have his story down straight.
Not only that I just can't imagine an off duty cop even getting involved. However, with tin foil adjusted properly, I could see someone being taken down for hire.We are talking big league major bucks, betting, so on and so forth.
