A DA first shot, with SA follow up shots could be a factor. Once the first goes off (about 10# pull) the following (5#) shots can almost be "sympathetic."
I think the type of gun (and his training, adherence to policy etc) will be huge in this case, on both sides.
Yea, I understand. He fires off a shot and doesn't even realize it was his and then reflexively fires a few more rounds? Could be.
But he's going to have time with what happens after that, where the guy is shot and screaming and groaning and the cop says "f**k you!".
I don't think that was part of his training. :-)
I am 90% sure that the weapon used rhymes with clock
I shot a friends DA/SA S&W. I didn't care for it.
I need to correct my post too. I don't think the cop said FU after he shot the airman, I think it was STFU.
