I?m sure we will never know all of the facts surrounding the shooting.

Looking at it as some sort of a typical law enforcement scenario it would definitely be a bad shoot.

But, inside what could be a restricted area of the capital building... who knows. The rules of engagement or the orders given to the security personnel could be totally different from what applies to a normal agency working public areas of a city. For all we know the armed guys in the barricaded area may have had strict orders that nobody was allowed to enter that area and that anyone doing so was fair game to be stopped at any cost.

I just don?t think any of us can really judge whether it was a bad shoot without all of the behind the scenes knowledge of the situation. The guy who fired the shot may have acted well within the current protocol at the time.
