That's good to know. If it were my wife inside the house, I'd want them returning fire and getting in there to help those in need, but that's just me.
Oh and BTW, they didn't kill the guy so guess they fell a bit short on the whole badge being a license to kill thing with this one eh'?
It wasn't for lack of trying. I'm sure they'll be reprimanded for their piss-poor marksmanship.
You know, if you check out the Gun Nut thread you'll see that even the NRA says that a major rule is to always KNOW what you are shooting at. Blasting away at random at a house seems to fall a bit short on that one.
