My home defense plan includes a clean shot with no chance of errant rounds in neighbors' houses.
No chance? The kid was shot in the neck. You think the cop was aiming at his neck?
He's damned lucky he didn't kill someone else.

Well, my missed shots will be retained within the foundation of the house. I’d say that’s pretty much no chance.

My point is like yours: handguns accuracy in stress situations is low. The odds of hitting a bystander (as there apparently were in the draft behind the knife-wielder) were too high for me to take that shot.

Maybe police are trained to a different standard, and someone will tell me why the shoot was okay.

But according to the posts above, I would do virtually anything other than take a shot knowing bystanders were behind the knife guy.

No he was most likely aim for the head for a central nervous disconnect. Hitting the neck worked as well.
