Pointing a firearm, by accident or design, at a LEO doesn’t usually end well.
This time it might not end well for the cop as well.
Situational Awareness.
Auntie had none. I am not blaming her for getting killed, but she made two major mistakes Saturday night.
1. Leaving her front door open for hours.
2. Not taking safety precautions when she heard noises outside the window.
It was not a burglar, but a cop. And if it was a burglar, pointing a gun out the window could well have gotten her shot dead just the same.
This is a tragic mistake. I hope we citizens can learn from this.
