[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2909561, member: 1132"] Sympathetic response has been my guess since the beginning and it still is. I'm conflicted on finger placement. If you're pointed in on someone who's hand is concealed from view and your finger is outside the guard, they can produce a weapon and fire before you can respond and fire. Action beats reaction and what not. She may have very much believed firing on him before he could shoot was inevitable, and in that case finger on the trigger is correct. The problem comes in that he never got to the point of producing a weapon, or anything remotely resembling a weapon. He never pulls a hand away from the vehicle and he never turns towards them. She shot well before justification was established and based on when she fired in relation to the taser firing, sympathetic response is the most plausible theory. Had he made an aggressive move towards them with a metallic object retrieved from the vehicle, more than a single shot would be the correct response. You wouldn't risk stopping a lethal threat from a gun at close range on a single shot. [/QUOTE]
