[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3576709, member: 23"] At the academy they teach to NOT shoot at a moving vehicle. Their stated reasoning is that if you do, you risk hitting someone else with your bullets (not good) and if you did hit the vehicle or driver you have just created an uncontrollable two thousand pound battering ram. (worse) I’ve been a member of four different departments and they all had policies against shooting at moving vehicles. The only times I’ve ever seen LE Fire at a moving was the former Canadian County Sheriff with a shotgun on I-40 and the more recent pursuit when the OHP Trooper was shooting through his own windshield during the chase with the murder suspect. Both of those were on the news. There was another incident involving Spencer PD where OCPD chased a suspect from NE 63rd southbound on Midwest Blvd. Two SPD officers had set up a roadblock just north of the bridge and the driver attempted to run over one of the officers. The other officer shot the suspect in the head with an AR15 thinking that the suspect had run over his fellow officer. The suspect vehicle ended up in the river. When they did the recovery the suspect had two bullet holes in his head about an inch apart. I’m sure there are more out there. [/QUOTE]
