“Police records said Putnam refused to fill out a report, which is required when an officer fires a service weapon.”

Sounds like he wasn’t fired for shooting, but for not filling out a report.

But maybe he didn’t fill it out because he knew he’d be fired for that.

You're probably right about this point.

Usually if the Cop and union rep lawyer say and do the right things after a shooting, it is impossible to fire the cop, and he gets plenty of paid vacation.
