There was a fairly recent situation were I believe it was another "no knock" warrant. A flash-bang was thrown into the home and LE stormed into the home.
A 12 year old girl (resident of the house) was shot in the neck and she died. The police version is an officer struggled with a large female resident and his gun "went off."
When I heard this, I didn't believe it. LE and Military are trained to keep their trigger finger out of the trigger guard and parallel with the slide
so things like this won't happen.
But, the show "The First 48" were there filming all of what happened. The district attorney received a video tape from an unamed source. The video clearly shows that when the flash-bang was thrown into the house, a LEO fired one shot into the home! (WHY!!)
There were no weapons fired inside of the home, according to the video tape. This is one example of how beneficial the device in my "Record your SD shooting" post can be.
Can any of you tell me why a LEO would fire a shot into a home prior to entry when there were was not a threat? I believe the girl was laying down when she was shot. Perhaps others can fill in the location, etc., that I've forgotten.
I have one theory; The LEO had his finger on the trigger and when the flash-bang went off, his finger jerked. Which is exactly why they are to keep their finger off the trigger. This remains a mystery to me.
