12-year-old girl shot & killed by Pennsylvania state constable during apartment eviction

Holy shit, reading the comments on those news articles hurt so much. People blaming the officer for this situation, and not the father.

Family is not pressing charges.

They have no legal basis to press charges to begin with. They'll take it to civil court where they'll be paid an undisclosed amount of money and this will never be talked about again.

[QUOTE=GunFox;49524455]They shoot center mass because anything else doesn't stop the target. Which is the intention. Cops do not "shoot to kill", they shoot to STOP.

Over penetration killing people behind the intended target is pretty rare.[/QUOTE]

You don't shoot anything without the intent to kill/destroy.

Awful situation though, I'm surprised they're not charging the father with murder honestly.

Police Officers shoot to stop. It's why they fire until the suspect is no longer a threat not until they're dead.
