7/8 Isn't Good Enough

[url=http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/05/19/officer-who-fatally-shot-ny-college-student-along-with-armed-intruder-faced/]I'd assume this was posted but didn't see it[/url] [quote] The bare facts are simple. Rebello and the intruder, Dalton Smith, died early Friday when the officer fired eight shots, hitting him seven times, with the eighth bullet striking Rebello once in the head, according to county homicide squad Lt. John Azzata. With a gun pointed at her, Smith "kept saying, 'I'm going to kill her,' and then he pointed the gun at the police officer," according to Azzata. The would-be robber then made a motion indicating he was about to fire, according to authorities. The officer acted quickly, saying later that he believed his and Rebello's life were in danger, according to authorities.[/quote] Right or wrong decision to fire? We all love to be armchair detectives here and pass judgment, so I wonder if Bungie goers think he made the right call.

  • Based on that information? The moment that the suspect pointed the gun at the officer, that was that. It's a tragedy that the victim died, but the responsibility for the outcome and responsibility for the death of the young woman lies solely on the suspect.
