An unfortunate incident.
From Fox News: Hofstra student was killed by police, authorities say | Fox News
Damn... she was gorgeous!
I was going to judge this situation... but I wouldn't want to have to make that decision. Had the cop pulled this off he would have been a hero... I can judge him and call him a fool for what he did, but it doesn't change the fact that a young lady lost her life.
I believe the cop made a poor choice. He decided to gamble with the life of the person he came to protect rather than stay calm and take the chance he could talk the perp down. But I don't know if I could blame him....
For the rest of his life he is going to have to replay the moment and ask himself "what if"?
What if I hadn't pulled that shot?
What if I had not pulled the trigger at all? Would I have been able to talk the perp down or would he have killed us both and maybe others?

I feel bad for him and hope I'm never thrust in the same scenario.... Maybe in the heat of the moment I would have taken that shot? Maybe I would have talked him down... or maybe I'd be dead?
