This was a tragedy for all concerned.

Couldn't be more true.

I do not want to start useless speculation on who was right or wrong here, and I really hope that I do not, given the inconsistency of the facts alleged and the fact that an investigation has just begun. I do think this story is food for thought should one of us some day find himself in the situation of either the LEO or the person shot.

Edit: In an effort to avoid distracting confusion, I will note that the article claims 1.1 seconds between the LEO's order and the shooting, while the above link says 11 seconds.
