Knoxville, TN dashcam: PD fires 40 rounds, 13 hit & kill BG

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYoJX5VhUE8

The above video is about 1 minute, 37 seconds long and is a case of "suicide by cop" since the suspect's gun was
a pellet gun and he made the cops shoot him.

The Knoxville, Tenn. LEO's fired a total of 40 rounds, hitting the suspect with 13 rounds, and killing him.

I felt that the 2 LEO's in the foreground made good use of the car for cover, while keeping eyes on the BG, and engaging him.
Just before the firing starts, you can see vehicles in the direction of the BG. Luckily none of the missed shots seemed to have
hit any innocents.

Another thing to consider in this incident is that it seems that there were more officers behind the 2 that we can see.
If they were firing also, their shots towards the BG would be in the same general vector as the LEO at the right rear of the cruiser.
