Pretty sure any of the bystanders would tell you they would gladly risk being hit by a ricochet fragment vs the outcome the shooter had in mind! Courageous citizen and deserves to be acknowledged for his heroism.Any time an officer fires his/her weapon (other than training) he/she is immediately placed on administrative leave and a review of the shooting is conducted. the officer is asked to recall the sight picture for every round fired, what was between the gun and the target and what was behind the target. If the sight picture did not have a part of the body of the target that would lead to incapacitation, or worse, was not on the target, or even worse, involved an innocent that happened to be behind the target, why was the trigger pressed? Given the circumstances of the shooting, the outcome that the bad shooter died and that there was no collateral damage or injuries it ends well- but God help us from the ambulance chasers that would have come out of the woodwork had it ended with some bystander being hit by a ricochet fragment.
