Oh I'm sorry. Thanks.I posted several upthread.
Thank you for this. So, I wonder if he called for help first before firing 6-7 shots, and how that plays into the"believing he needed to use force", and "using no more force than necessary". I imagine the setting (a crowded store) is relevant if the person or persons he believed were attacking him were unarmed.
At some point, I’m pretty sure we’d all like to see that video.There is a video from what has been reported.

I am not sure what difference would it make if he said he was a cop or not? He was off duty at the time.Forensics can give info on whether a shot was from above or below - anyone know if it would also provide clues whether the person (who was shot) is moving toward the gun or was standing still?
I've never really thought about Costco having security cameras (it seems so obvious now that they would) but even without video of the whole incident, there should other evidence like the 6 or 7 bullets and/or bullet wounds. Also, does Costco's security cameras include audio? I saw an article where the cop's lawyer says that the cop did say he is an officer before shooting - without audio, it might not be clear from a (silent) video what the officer is saying.

The officer was identified by multiple sources as Salvador Sanchez, a patrol officer in the Southwest Division, The Times reported. He suffered minor injuries.
I posted one earlier. From the LAtimes.
It is interesting to see the various headlines for this shooting.

But do you think your life is more important than lives of these other people? If you are shooting in a crowded place multiple times, you potentially are going to shoot or kill completely innocent people. You don't think that matters? Or your life more important than anybody's?Imo, it would depend on the situation. If I was in fear for my life, I would shoot as many times as needed. That might be twice, or six times. I'm not fond of the idea that I can't save my life because other people are around.

He did kill a mentally disabled man and wounded his parents (mother is said to be in really bad shape and could die too). Those are the actual facts. The dispute is whether that qualifies as self-defense.There are plenty more, all of them extremely biased. Either one way or the other.
The officer was either attacked and defending himself. Or the officer was a shooter, who killed a disabled man and wounded his parents.
Not much center ground.
I would think the person shooting in a crowded place would be a danger to everyone around that person.I think in the heat of the moment I would think my attacker is a danger to me and everyone around me.
