A Mississippi police chase ended with an innocent woman shot in her bedroom.
Five of the experts who reviewed the footage said they believed it showed the officer firing one to as many as five shots, though it was not possible to be certain. A sixth expert agreed that the video showed potential muzzle flashes but cautioned that light from the police SUV might be reflecting off the officer’s gun. The remaining two experts said they could not tell whether the officer fired, in part because of the poor quality of the video.
The experts said they would need more details to determine whether the officer was justified in shooting a weapon in an apartment complex full of families. State authorities haven’t said whether the Capitol Police officers had reason to believe the sedan’s occupants were armed. “Police have to consider the backdrop and have to consider where their bullets are going to go if they miss a suspect,” Pusins said. “That’s a critically important consideration.”
In interviews over the past two weeks, he declined to give more details about what unfolded, citing a pending review by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. He said he didn’t know whether the three people in the sedan had fired any shots, and he didn’t believe anyone had been arrested.
