In his partners body cam video you can hear a sound before he starts shooting. Still don’t know how you would mistake that for a gunshot, but there was at least a sound 🤷
Iirc the main dude is a vet with ptsd. If my partner told me he’s hit and started shooting in a direction i would at the very least also take cover and try and figure out the situation. They had a suspect in the car so they both freaked and thought the suspect was shooting at them. Not to excuse them, and fuck whoever allowed a ptsd vet to have a job that uses a gun. He should have had more resources to help him with his ptsd and to find alternative jobs that maybe don’t trigger it like that. Cops are trained to always be on edge over here because they never know who might have a gun, it’s stupid he was allowed in.
