> The unidentified cop fired eight rounds, seven of which struck and killed Smith (the perp), and one of which hit Rebello (the victim)

8 rounds?!?

What happened to the new law that you're only allowed to have 7 in a gun? Oh right this was a cop.

What a damn shame. If he'd only had 7, the victim would still be alive.

“The first shot struck Andrea square between the eyes and she fell to the floor giving the officer an open field of fire”

You’re assuming she was killed with the last shot......could have been the first or any of the seven that followed. Better question is why he did not know what he was firing at....I realize it was a stressful environment but what is the training for. Job one when rescuing a victim is not to kill the victim!!!!

If he'd only had 7, the victim would still be alive.

My question is - was it the 7th that killed her? The perp was holding her close to him. So the 8th round finally got him? This is so sad for all concerned there are no adequate words for it.
