There's nothing pretty about this.
Full details not yet public, BUT !!
The location of the entry wound is consistent with the shooter aiming a head-shot,
but right-hand trigger-jerk pulling the weapon off target.
Children should not play with guns.

Drawing and pointing guns are illegal because accidental shootings then become much more likely.
What they do not mention is that the person who fired the shot in the police car was likely harmed even more, by the concussion in the confined space, the broken glass spray, etc.
Perhaps shot through glass, perhaps not.
My reason for thinking not, the vid made public doesn't show glass doing as you suggest, suggesting to me the shooter's hand and gun were out an open window. BUT !!
There are POLICEMEN ! They're not fit to graduate high school !
Oh yah, you are correct there was no broken glass.
Interesting how my imagination filled that in.

For the record, applicants for police positions have been rejected because they were "too smart". There have been lawsuits over this and the courts have upheld the Department rulings.
A quick search suggest that the average IQ of police officers is about 104 (which would probably qualify them for cashier positions).
Thing is, most departments promote from within so it follows that the top brass are no smarter.

Here is a bit more of the details:
{...
Senatobia police were at the Walmart to respond to a call about an alleged shoplifting and encountered two people with a child fleeing from the store into a vehicle, state investigators said after the shooting.
The officers “attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one,” investigators said. “An officer then discharged their weapon and the vehicle fled the scene. The subjects arrived at a local hospital where one juvenile child in the vehicle was pronounced deceased, and another subject had critical injuries.”

So apparently the police shot at the vehicle, which is illegal in my opinion.
Even if feeling threatened by a car, shooting the driver makes the car MORE of danger and not less.

Police crashed into a man’s van twice on purpose, fired 27 shots at him, and while the vehicle lay on its side, burning, at least eight cops watched as 34-year old Navy veteran John Andrew Jenuwine bled out and died inside. It turned out police chased the wrong man.

Apparently the police were looking for 2 armed Blacks instead of this 1 unarmed white guy.
The only similarity was they both had a white van.

“D.C. Police Agree To Compensate District Resident Handcuffed for Playing Star Wars “Imperial March” Theme Near National Guard Troops”
“The District of Columbia has agreed to pay to settle a First Amendment lawsuit, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia (ACLU-D.C.), on behalf of Sam O’Hara, a D.C. resident who was handcuffed for playing the “Imperial March” from Star Wars while walking behind National Guard troops.
This settlement only applies to the conduct of D.C. police officers, and the case continues against Ohio National Guard Sgt. Devon Beck, who summoned D.C. police to end Mr. O’Hara’s constitutionally protected act of protest.
“The government’s efforts to silence me ultimately backfired and brought more attention to the unjust deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C.,” said Sam O’Hara, plaintiff in the case. “This settlement serves as a reminder that ....

Merely an anecdote. Whether the mid-terms provide significant relief, ... who knows?
The Democrats are surely no panacea. BUT !
The Republicans seem to have set a very low bar for Democrat victory this November.

Last week, a 17-year-old child named Anthoneil Williams II called 911 while in distress. Austin Police arrived, and executed him in cold blood with a barrage of more than 20 rounds. Let’s Address Texas State Director Saadia Mirza covered this tragic story in detail. And as I painfully reflected over Anthoneil’s murder, I realized something. Citing “fear for their lives,” Uvalde police cowered for three hours while an armed terrorist mass murdered children. But now, citing “fear for their lives,” Austin police opened fire in 3 seconds to murder an unarmed child in distress holding a water bottle.
This begs questions.
Why is “I was scared” a magical get out of jail free card for cops?

Water bottles do not remotely look like guns.
