May not be P.C., bet it would have worked. Not sure about rules of engagement, but once this little perp opened fire, IMO, he became a target of opportunity.

I'd like to hear LEO opinions on this tactic.

Having a tactical advance and aimed fire is way more productive than charging and spray and pray shooting in a general direction.

Not a LEO, just thinking out loud.

Tactical advance takes time to organize. Shooting was over in a very few minutes.

Less organized, faster assault on perp may cut short the critical killing time.

Seems responses need to be faster, even at the cost of tactical perfection.
