He came around the corner, chased by two construction workers, turned around and pulled his gun on the police. I’m sure, if it had not jammed, he would have killed as many people as he could have. He was angry and he was trying to do suicide by cop (and later reports have said that he was hit seven times).
You sound like you’re in the “but why couldn’t they shoot the gun out of his hand” crowd.
Whenever there’s firing in a crowd, people other than the intended victim are going to get hurt. Guns aren’t magic.
“Whenever there’s firing in a crowd, people other than the intended victim are going to get hurt. “
I agree. I guess that’s why sixteen rounds to hit one perp at close range seems excessive.
You sound like you are in the cops can do no wrong crowd.
“I’m sure, if it had not jammed, he would have killed as many people as he could have. He was angry and he was trying to do suicide by cop “
Now you are clairvoyant? From the actual facts it appears he was trying to get away when confronted by the cops.
