If the police officers were the only ones in the building then they were reckless and may have caused additonal deaths.
It is not possible for non-EMS trained personnel to tell the dead from wounded. Police officers can not do that.

If the police decided all the wounded were dead - regardless of the wounds - then there should a line of lawyers ready to sue the Newtown Police.
So then the police officers at Sandy Hook Elementary should not have carried those two wounded first graders out to their cruiser and driven them to the hospital to try to save their lives???
That is a lot of ‘ifs.’ Got any facts of the case?
