Trained professionals are taught to shoot to kill. IIRC, that is EXACTLY what the cop, in Calgary that shot the guy with a knife a few months ago. And you go to the firing range to train for that.
Sure, your aim can be messed up, but I doubt that it is 'staggeringly low.' |
Even Charles Bronson would have had a pretty tough go of shooting a guy in the head on a moving bus full of panicked people.
I gotta wonder what the was going through the cop's heads as they were dealing with this lunatic.
"Dispatch, we've got a guy with a knife in one hand and a human head in the other. Backup, we need backup".
I don't mean that as a joke, really. It must have been pretty intense. Probably some itchy trigger fingers and sweaty palms and I don't know if anyone could blame them if they'd shot the guy.
According to the CTV 11pm news, the killer is 40 years old. The RCs apparently tackled him as he jumped out of a window from the bus.
