No, it’s not ooops. The perp was hit by seven shots, so most of them found their mark and there were 10 people injured by richochets (possibly even some bullets that had passed through the killer, since some of the injuries were not that serious).
The cops had no knowledge about whether he was planning to pull off an Aurora-style killing (which was also done with a .45, wasn’t it?) and unfortunately, in a situation like that, you have to react as fast as you can and take out the killer.
Incidentally, all the folks here who have been calling for armed theater patrons who would have risen up and started blasting the Aurora killer...you’d have a lot more dead.
Cops at least practice and it sounds like a lot of them hit their marks, but having an exchange of gunfire in a crowded place anywhere is going to result in people other than the target being hit in one way or another, either by stray bullets or by richocheting shots.

At least there has been some improvement by the NYPD.
They only used 16 rounds instead of 70 some-odd or was that another city?
It’s hard to keep up with all the goings on nowadays.
Triggernometry! somebody has to repeat the class because that many misses is a failing grade. It would be good to get Bloomberg in the same class since he misses every time he shoots his mouth off.

Check out the video on the other thread. The officer in the upper left isn’t shooting at the perp. Looks like he has chosen the wrong target.
Anyone else think this?
