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.
Perhaps shot through glass, perhaps not."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." R5 #383
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 !
Closure?"Oh yah, you are correct there was no broken glass.
Interesting how my imagination filled that in." R5
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.There are POLICEMEN ! They're not fit to graduate high school !
