“58 rounds at the suspect. An autopsy revealed that the suspect was struck four times”
Well, dang, I understand adrenaline running, but that is some bad shooting.
4 of 58 hit the guy?
Sounds like this “SWAT” team needs a LOT more range time.
I would be humiliated if I were aiming and only hit the target one in fifteen times.
The real world 2-way range is not the local gun club. I see no problem here.
Maybe most of the missed shots were due to it being 12 Midnight. Even still, Mission Accomplished. The threat has been eliminated for good.
Well, dang, I understand adrenaline running, but that is some bad shooting.
I would guess after the fireworks started some of those rounds were for cover so teams could get closer and or move in to setup on the suspect.
Covering fire. Maybe shooting through concealment at an unseen target. A lot of rounds probably hit siding, insulation and drywall.
Had a fugitive on the run here on the Big island. Cops spotted him, three cops unloaded 25+ shots at him in a "Sclade" and he got away.
They spotted him again a few days later, lit him up on foot this time and he got away again. Cops were a laughingstock. Could not hit an unarmed man who was not returning fire.
After he turned himself in, I wondered if one of the charges would be not standing still while they shot at him.
At least they hit him.
