[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3699507, member: 45773"] An eyewitness tells the dispatcher the bad guy has fired several shots inside the store. It turns out the witness likely mistook the sounds of the bad guy striking something with the lock as gunshots. It can clearly be heard in the 911 calls and could be mistaken for gun shots. Branca then explains the jury instructions applicable for this type of incident in California: It's reasonable for responding officers to rely on the information they're given in reacting to the threat, even if the information is incorrect. For the life of me I can't understand why someone can't look at this in a rational manner and realize this is a horrible and tragic accidental shooting in a very dynamic and fluid environment...nothing more. It's hard to say at this point if the officer should have any criminal culpability...I don't think so. But, it's early and all the facts are not known. Obviously, he'll have to answer for his actions and will most likely be sued civilly. He should still be afforded due process. [/QUOTE]
