Some HAVE shot that many, but some of those shot were fleeing. There may be a case of a cop or two having had to hit 4 people, but I've found no documentation of such a thing.


But sir, while your data may be as good as it gets, it might be dated. New or increasing threats seem to have risen, or so it seems. Your thoughts for the present crazy times vs. the last 50 years of data ?
