News of the Polk County, Florida, shooting of the cop-killer. Ten
officers surrounded the perpetrator, only nine of them fired. Total
rounds fired: 110. Number of bullets which hit perp: 68. What is wrong
with these guys? And why did only 9 of them fire weapons? I demand an
investigation.



As I underestand it, getting better than 50% hits is fairly unusual.

I'm more confused about how you get 110 rounds out of 9 weapons...
Somebody had time to re-load?


Here is what the sheriff said:

"I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was
that's all the ammunition they had," Judd said.
