The cops shooting vs hits percentages are improving!

Sixteen rounds expended and 10 confirmed hits!  Too bad 9 of them were innocent bystanders....

Oh!  Yea!  It's NYC, who gives a sh!t!

Last training I took on this type of situation showed stats that law enforcement only hit 20% of the time, so it appears NYPD are improving and raising the bar.  Wait a minute, that 20% was hitting their target.  Sure hope innocent bystanders were not their targets! One on target and 15 misses = 6.25% on target.

Crazy it's a small world moment.  The shooting victim (the guy the bad guy shot) was a friend of my former roommate's cousin. 

Sad that this event happened.  Even sadder that most of the victims were from the police.

Here's the video of the "shootout."

Doesn't the NYPD require a 12# DAO trigger on their guns?

I bet the cop on the left - the one within spitting distance and using a two-handed grip - had a much higher success rate that the cop on the right - retreating and firing with a one-handed grip.

I think many of the injuries were from ricochets and shrapnel.

Oh, and the bad guy never got a shot off.

There were ten hits on the perp if I remember. Those are pretty good hit percentages, is that 120 or 125%?

I don't think he was hit ten times.  From what I have read he had ten "gunshot wounds" and that some of them were "where the bullet exited."  It might be a while before we find out how many rounds actually found their intended target.

sounds like the oakland pd....  Awhile back ( 5+ years ago)  there was a shoot out envoling 3 cops and a black teen.  Just under 60 rounds fired.  2 pistols and an ar.  The guy empty the ar reloaded, shot some more.  One of the pistols was emptyed twice.  The last gun was fired twice.  The kid was hit in the arm and ankle for a total of 2 hits...  Guess  which officer had the hits?       yep the guy that fired twice lol

Ought to make them untrained assholes go back to Cap and Ball revolvers.
6 shots and no practical reload, better make them count.
It isn't really the cops fault that their training budget got used for some PC Muslim out reach program, or a vocational program to teach Spanish to Albanian hookers, or funding Bloomburg's new "Soda Police".

-The man killed by a former co-worker on a Manhattan sidewalk Friday was shot five times in the head, the New York Medical Examiner's office said Sunday.

-Ercolino died from head wounds, but he also suffered "a graze wound to the chest, but nothing that would have killed him," said Ellen Borakove, the medical examiner's spokeswoman.

-Johnson, who served in the U.S. Coast Guard in the mid-1970s, had two rounds left in his pistol. It holds eight, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Saturday.

-Johnson died from nine gunshot wounds in his chest, the medical examiner's office said. Three bullets were recovered from his body, while another four bullets exited his body, the medical examiner said. No explanation was given for two apparently unaccounted for bullets.

-Nine pedestrians suffered bullet or fragment wounds in the hail of gunfire, all from shots fired by police, Kelly said. Three passers-by sustained direct gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments, Kelly said.

-One officer shot nine rounds and the other shot seven.

I would bet  allthe perp hits came from one cop.
