NEW YORK — All nine people wounded during a dramatic confrontation between police and a gunman outside the Empire State Building were struck by bullets fired by the two officers, police said Saturday, citing ballistics evidence.
The veteran patrolmen who opened fire on the suit-wearing gunman, Jeffrey Johnson, had only an instant to react when he whirled and pointed a .45-caliber pistol as they approached him from behind on a busy sidewalk.
Comments
To reduce the liklihood of innocent bystanders (and even bystanders who aren't innocent) being hit require tactical shooting training and testing for police.
S#@T Happens!
The gang that couldn't shoot straight?
