Chas.

I didn't know that (about the second round). In John Farnam's courses, he stated that the most likely time for an ND is immediately after the first ND. Baiscally for same reason you stated. Startle response and all that.

Re: Plano: Unarmed man accidentally shot by police

Example of "accidently" (almost) shooting the suspect and/or partner:

IIRC correctly, she "only" hit the ground, but it looks like it hit right beside the suspect's head.


In the case referenced by the OP, it seems unlikely this will be a "good shoot" if the police brass are talking about "accidents" right out of the gate...
