I use this one also, for the ones that like to play "Cop" CCW....
Scenario # 4
A man was shopping at an indoor enclosed shopping mall. While looking at merchandise in one of the stores, he heard several gun shots and a lot of screaming and panic coming from the main corridor directly outside the store. He immediately ran to the front of the store and saw a man with a gun chasing another man though the mall. Both men were running his way. The man drew his weapon and aimed it at the man with the gun and shouted “STOP”. The man with the gun spun around and looked at the man. When he saw the man with the gun spin around in his direction he became in fear of his life and fired 2 rounds at the man with the gun. One of 2 rounds fatally struck the man with the gun in the head, killing him instantly. The man being chased continued to run and disappeared into the mall parking lot. After a short investigation, it was later learned that the man with the gun was actually an off-duty officer who had witnessed a jewelry store robbery and was in pursuit of 1 of 2 robbery suspects.
1. What if anything would you have done differently?
2. Was deadly force justified in this incident?
3. Could this have been prevented?
