My thoughts while reading:
1. For a guy with military/police training, only hitting the bf's foot makes it sound like he didn't have much range time.
2. "...it would have to be a suicide by cops or be taken down by shooting." Are they being redundant or "taken down by shooting" from a civvie?
3. And, indeed, the whole tone of eeeeeevil gun owner, "dressed in military-style camouflage" et al.
4. "I thought the shooting was a good shooting" Huh? I guess he's saying that it's good the guy is dead and didn't kill anyone else, but still the phrasing of that statement was very odd.
