Re: Campus police officer shoots and kills naked student
I know this happened in Alabama, but if something similar happened in Texas, would civil immunity (83.001, Civil Practices and Remedies Code) cover the employer too, or only cover the individual who uses force or deadly force?

Though why a university would think that employing less than lethal measures would be any worse than shooting somebody in terms of PR is beyond me.
and especially shooting a student. It may be completely justified for the officer but it's likely to be a PR black eye for the university.

Re: Campus police officer shoots and kills naked student
I have a threat at 10 feet and they say I should put one round into the immediate threat, then fire two at the far threat, then reload, then fire another round at the threat 25 feet away, before I can shoot the close threat a second time?chris211 wrote:I completed my third tactical pistol course of the year, yeasterday. This class had several top notch shooters, very knowledgable in all types of firearms. A marine, couple of Army and one police academy graduate.
Two mags, 3 rds each. The course of fire: Closest target 10 feet, one round; second target at 25 feet, two rounds, tactical reload, second target gets one more and first target gets the last two. Get off the X.
The first pass, half the shooters could not remember the sequence,
It's no wonder a bunch of experienced shooters might solve those threats in a different, less arbitrary order.
