84 rounds, 14 hits, where did the other 70 rounds go?

[Gaffer]

Seems like “spray and pray” has replaced marksmanship.

[tomkat]

Murray was hit 14 times, and refused to drop his weapon

Methamphetamine much ?

In other news, the recent DHS purchase of a half billion rounds of ammo now makes a tad more sense.

Assuming 15 round mags,Officer Robinson probably expended every round he was carrying.So he was standing there defenseless.

[Tenacious 1]

70 rounds of supressing fire.

I’m sure not all the shots were carefully aimed.

Massed Ayoob on a video of a morbidly obese criminal being shot by a cop multiple times: “don’t shoot him in a body part he doesn’t want.”

The comments to the article are a bit surprising—————at least IMHO.

[FreedomPoster]

Actually, better than 15% hits in a real-world shooting incident at greater than contact distances is pretty darn good.

And in answer to your question, into the ground, nearby walls, etc.

[econjack]

Hmmm...maybe 16 years old is too start raising a productive member of society.

[wbill]

Yeah, I don't care that there were 89 shots fired, or the guy was hit 14 times.

The 70 misses, though, are concerning.

[Rappini]

I hope someone counted the empty brass.

"Officers responded to a 911 call at 2971 Eighth St. in Harlem . . ."

Is this some other Harlem I'm heretofore unaware of?

"It's not always being fast or even accurate that counts. It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger...And I won't." -J.B. Books

It helps to aim too...

I think the cops could do with much more range time; and,
what is it with shooting the mother and sister? How much of a degenerate could the guy be?

Last summer I had jury duty. It was a murder case. The accused shot his grandfather in the chest because he refused to give him a hundred dollars for booze and drugs.
The prosecution’s witnesses were the guy’s mother, grandmother and sister.
When I was questioned during the jury selection process, I simply stated that if his own mother, grandmother and sister were the eye witnesses, why were we wasting time with a trial? I was dismissed and allowed to go home.

.45 ACP when you “care” enough to send the VERY BEST! These “Cops” probably had WIMPY 9 mm!

[dangerdoc]

This may sound strange but for the circumstances 14/85 is probably above average shooting.

[PowderMonkey]

Hit 14 times, and the perp is still breathing? Time for NYPD to upgrade to the “Flying Ashtray.”

[ßuddaßudd]

Were they shooting revolvers?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

What's a little collateral damage among friends!

Maybe they were holding their guns sideways to look cool!

Better account of the fusillade
