"He had already assaulted the officer, punching him and breaking his orbital bone around the officers eye."

That's not been confirmed, and could have been recoil, with the gun hitting him in the eye for all anybody knows at this point.

Your assertion just doesn't wash.

Wilson is a righty. His LEFT orbit is the one that was broken. It wasn't recoil from his gun - which, by the way, Wilson HAS to train with quite frequently. Under your scenario, he'd have made the worst of rookie shooter's mistakes. Maybe I could buy it if he'd been shooting a scoped S&W .500 Magnum - for the 1st time, but not a 9mm (or .40 cal., as some here have reported). Oh, and IF he had done it to himself, it would've been his RIGHT orbit that was broken.

All I’m saying is there is no confirmation from a credible source

As I understand it, most Cops don’t have nearly enough range time.
