maybe when the first cop took out his gun it went off? and the others.. "returned fire"..
and that will all come down to if the suspect was armed or not..
Oh please...we can't give the police credit for doing a good job and claim one mis-fired his weapon, that triggered (no pun intended), off a volley of shots.
I would think that there is more chance of mistakes being made, with the increased number of officers onsite. In which case, if mistakes were made, due to number, then it may have been "overkill", for the situation.
A point that has been made.
With the number of officers present, is it any woner that there was the chance for mistakes and miscommunication? I think not.
Yet they still accomplished their objective, so...job well done.
