7 cops shooting, 42 shots fired, one officer dead, one wounded and

This seems to be a pattern with these people.

Cops generally are not known for being accurate shots unless, of course,
they are shooting at unarmed suspects. Lack of practice, outshooting the
capabilities of their sidearms, etc.


People in general are not known for being accurate shots when they are in high stress situations. Situations where someone may fire back at them. You know, situations where you are firing at something other than a stump.
Etc.


Harry totally understands. He's been shot at multiple times and once saved a woman from deadly
violence.
