Posting because I feel this incident illustrates the extreme importance of marksmanship, discretion, and target identification. The officer was pursuing an armed suspect when the chase turned into a ground fight where the suspect was attempting to draw a gun. Multiple officers shot at the suspect from varying distances while he was literally entangled with the officer. The officer and the suspect were both killed by police gunfire.
In my opinion at least two of these officers were taking extremely irresponsible shots at distances where they had no chance of hitting the suspect accurately, and narrowly missed shooting a second officer who was participating in the fight. If you cannot make the shot, do not take the shot.
