From the 20 shots involved, I remember reading that different police departments have different training standards as far as discharging your weapons go.

Some departments are trained to fire one shot, then pause then another as needed.

I know in Vegas the cops are trained to double tap, one shot to the center mass, the second aimed shot to the head.

But 20 shots dosen't sound reasonable, and I'd be interested to see what the autopsy and investigation digs up.
