“As you probably know LOE are trained to shoot to kill.No shooting the gun or wounding him.
Period”

No - not “period.” LEO are taught to shoot to stop the person committing a felonious act while using a firearm/weapon. If the felon gets dead as a result of being stopped, that’s just too damn bad.

Perhaps I phrased it poorly.
My point was LOE are trained to shoot at center mass. To stop the deadly situation and aiming for the center where organs are is the mist effective way.
.
When I used the word period I only meant the are not trained to shoot at limbs or try to shoot a gun out if a hand,
We agree
