This is the scenario I would fear if I was ever involved in a DGU situation. I know with adrenaline pumping, all your senses and judgement are affected in many ways. LEO's are not immune to this and I can't imagine what the firing officer is dealing with right now.

This happened in the town that neighbors us. Very distressing!
I can imagine that a careful review of this incident will cause a change in both training and in how officers proceed in similar situations.
I'm praying for all who were involved/impacted.
Bad situation. The shooter clearly failed to ID the victim who was dressed in a full uniform. I'm sure he feels bad, but putting a little light on the target might have changed the situation - something about knowing your target and what is behind it...

Terrible situation. Prayers to all involved.

Unfortunately this happens more than you might think.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of officer Davis. From what I read the firing officer showed extremely poor judgement , if he used any judgement at all! You see it every deer season. Some idiot sees movement and fires , hitting another hunter.( I have been hunting for 35 years and have never seen a hunter that looked like a deer). The call was about some idiots firing a gun. That was all. Nothing was said about them shooting at people . What forum members can take from this is to remember to identify your target and that you can not just shoot someone because the have a gun.

He is feeling what any of us would feel. The color red trumps the color blue in any tragedy involving a firearm or, for that matter, any incident that involves you and the death of another.Originally Posted by Duality

Friendly fire has to be one of the hardest things to deal with.
I don't carry a gun to look for or start a fight. I carry one to finish a fight I never wanted to be in.

So sad. I could not imagine. Prayers for all involved.

It's a tragedy; a completely avoidable tragedy. My prayers go out to the families involved.
