"I told him stop and drop your weapons. I identified myself as police and he turned and fired a couple of rounds at me. I didn't hear him say a word ... he just turned and fired." What can you say about a religion that encourages murder? God knows it is not Christianity.

A response probably consistent with police training. The wrong response for this kind of situation.
A more appropriate response would have been to shoot the aggressor till he stopped shooting others and do so without giving him a chance to shoot the responder first.

It is possible we may have another Jessica Lynch situation developing, as according to this article the lady cop was already down and the perp was continuing to fire.
I’d like to point out that it is irrelevant who actually shot the guy, other than to commend him/her for good marksmanship. The heroism comes from responding, running towards the gunfire rather than away from it. Both these cops are heros.
The firemen on 9/11 were not less heroic because they were ineffective at saving lives.
