Re: Woman shot by off-duty officer

”In most cases, it really is those times when a life is in danger when you see off-duty officers acting in the capacity of a police officer,” Bracewell explained.

I think what we will find out is, the off-duty LEO observed a traffic violation. After driving for a few blocks, the other driver got out of her vehicle, she said she was in pain and "holding her side: or hip area". After firing several rounds, a witness heard the shooter yell "Stop Reaching! Stop Reaching!!" The Off-Duty LEO probably perceived the other driver holding her side as 'reaching' for a weapon and acted instead of reacting.

If you or I had acted like this, we probably would have been arrested on the spot and charged. There's no word if the off-duty LEO is cooperating with the investigation, only that there is no other information available.

The person shot 6 times is lucky the officer isn't a better shot.
