This is what I have issue with- I'm not going to risk my life to try to aim for a wounding shot, I'm going to quickly and as accurately as possible aim for center mass and shoot to eliminate the threat. If the threat ceases but isn't dead, yes, a wounded man will be transferred to police, if they do die from my defense, then so be it, but for an LE agency spokesman to say shoot them non-fatally and call us is just silly. If you shoot, you shouldn't be shooting to kill or wound, you should be shooting to stop the imminent threat.
